Archive pictures show medieval and Roman artefacts discovered across Oxfordshire including decorated floor tiles and ceramic wig rollers.

Pictures from archive galleries document archaeological discoveries across Oxfordshire, ranging from medieval ruins to Roman artefacts. Among the finds pictured are a medieval decorated church floor tile discovered in Bicester, a collection of sixteenth-century ceramic wig rollers, and a beaker from the second century.

John Eaton, a society member since 1973, is shown unearthing a fourteenth-century medieval decorated floor tile at test 71 during Wallingford Museum's Family Archaeology Day in 2014.

The excavations involved archaeologists and enthusiasts from across the county, including excavators, experts, authors and students, alongside amateurs participating in outreach work. The gallery demonstrates discoveries from beneath the ground that have contributed to revealing Oxfordshire's historical record.
