Field school find from 2019 finally got cataloged
I dug up a fragmented Roman oil lamp in a test trench outside Nimes back in 2019, and last month the lab at Lyon finally finished conserving it. The potter's mark shows a workshop that only operated between 120 and 150 CE, which narrows our site's occupation window by almost thirty years. It's a tiny thing, maybe 8 centimeters across, but seeing it in the museum drawer made the whole dig feel worth it. Has anyone else had a backlog item pay off that late, or am I the only one sitting on old finds?
