Reblogged from British Museum blog:
Julia Tubman, conservator, British Museum
My last blog post recounted the excavation of bags 5 and 6 of the Beau Street hoard, which were the two smallest bags on the edge of the large hoard. In the months since, the deconstruction of the hoard has advanced considerably: as the excavation progressed I naturally became faster and more confident in removing the coins, and am pleased to announce the end of this stage of the project.
This has been a fantastic project which I have followed from the beginning.
