Tools in Roman London
Owen Humphreys (Senior Finds Specialist, Museum of London Archaeology)The Museum of London contains one of the largest and best preserved collections of Roman metal tools in Europe. This project, a collaborative venture between the Museum of London and University of Reading, has catalogued over 900 tools from museums and commercial units operating in the city. These objects give an insight into practices which are otherwise almost invisible; woodwork, leatherwork, fine metalworking and urban farming to name a few. In doing so, these objects provide new perspectives on the social, technological, and economic life of the city and its inhabitants. This talk will focus on the key findings relating to the society of Roman London, including evidence of specialisation and cross-craft interaction, changing working practices, immigration and colonial exploitation.
