Rare Roman wooden figure uncovered by HS2 archaeologists in Buckinghamshire
An rare early Roman carved wooden figure was discovered during work on the HS2 project. In July 2021, archaeologists from Infra Archaeology, working for HS2’s contractor Fusion JV, removed the well-preserved figure from a water-logged Roman ditch in a field in Twyford, Buckinghamshire. As they were investigating at Three Bridge Mill, the team came across what they initially thought was a degraded piece of wood. As they continued to excavate, it a humanlike (anthropomorphic) figure was revealed. The figure, cut from a single piece of wood, stands at 67cm tall and is 18cm wide. |
