Wooden Roman figure found at Twyford during HS2 dig

Feb 16,2020 3:02 am

Archaeologists working on have found an " extremely rare" wooden figure made during The Roman period.

It was unearthed in a waterlogged ditch in a field in Twyford, Buckinghamshire.

They initially thought the 67cm (26in) by 18cm (7in) figure was a degraded piece of wood, but as they excavated a humanlike shape was revealed.

Archaeologist Iain Williamson said it was an " amazing discovery".

The carved figure is wearing tunic-like clothing which ends above the knee.

Mr Williamson, an archaeologist for HS2 contractor Fusion JV, described it as " extremely rare" and added: " The preservation of details carved into The Wood , such as the hair and tunic, really start to bring the individual depicted to life. "

The lack of oxygen in The Ditch helped preserve The Wood over the centuries, although the figure's arms below the elbows and its feet have degraded.

Shards of pottery found in the same ditch date to AD43-70, suggesting the figure was deposited in the early Romano-British period.

A small fragment of the figure, which had broken off, has been sent for Radiocarbon Dating .

Jim Williams , senior science advisor for, said: " This is a truly remarkable find which brings us face to face with our past.

" The quality of the carving is exquisite and the figure is all the more exciting because organic objects from this period rarely survive. "

Like a " finely carved" wooden arm, The Experts believe the figure may have been deliberately placed in The Ditch as an offering to The Gods .

The Find will feature in at 20:00 GMT, and on iPlayer.
