Roman figurines of bound slaves from Britain, w/ rope bindings; ex from Hants, Lincs, NYorks: http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/413449 …pic.twitter.com/pAmX8GmyWg
Nb, these slave figurines have flat backs+crossing perforations--so can be tied to something? http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/185032 …pic.twitter.com/58qVvmAQiU

@caitlinrgreen getting 404 message error?
@morangles odd..... Was there in December!!
@caitlinrgreen still unable to open this am
@morangles seems to have disappeared :-/
@caitlinrgreen that graph looks a little too smooth to me. Would be nice to see the actual recorded numbers.
@thimblecup I agree---suspect artefact of wide date ranges, tbh; might have been better as bar chart, perhaps?
@caitlinrgreen Right. Quick glance at the paper didn't reveal anything more, no tabular data or reference to it. Oh, well.
@thimblecup indeed. You should see what historians can do to C14 & probability if you think that's bad, though...! ;)
@caitlinrgreen I just stick to reading historians who can tell a good story. With an ending I like. :)
@caitlinrgreen @Archatgs broken link 404 :(
@globalbabel @Archatgs oh, that's brilliant, thanks! :)
