@caitlinrgreen @DorothyKing @lambandflag99 Like this ,thanks for posting.
@NickBrownAuthor @caitlinrgreen @lambandflag99 yes! isn't the stuff she posts simply fascinating!
For reference, a rough illustration of the extent & position of the forum w/ its church set against modern Lincoln:pic.twitter.com/AUoqosYMys
Horncastle v interesting too: Late Roman walled fort poss reused as Mid Saxon minster+high-status 6/7thC material toopic.twitter.com/kVUNHH68CU
Early Anglo-Saxon finds from Horncastle include a silver boar's head (from a helmet?) & a gold+garnet insect pendant:pic.twitter.com/pLSZhuZyQM
Good discussions of both of these interesting finds here http://www.lincstothepast.com/Untitled/1001968.record?ImageId=478781&pt=S … & here http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/506705 …

Bone from post-church graveyard at St Paul in Bail, Lincoln; Bayesian analysis suggests church prob demolished by 600pic.twitter.com/ApaOTiPzCb
@caitlinrgreen @ajdaubney We excavated early Roman poss temple just downslope from @LincsCathedral - early religious quarter & continuity?
@allenarchaeo @ajdaubney Oh, intriguing---seems to be the potential for such in Lincoln, certainly!
@caitlinrgreen @allenarchaeo @ajdaubney we have the lost inscription to Apollo from just east of there too, from Lindum Road
@caitlinrgreen And what of the forum buildings? Did they remain standing and in good nick as per the picture? If so until when?
@SurreyMedieval Unclear, def artistic license, but church looks like was attached to western portico, plus Mint Wall still stands there >
@SurreyMedieval > and Roman well, prob=baptistry, thought to continue in use for signif period. Church demolished by c.600 based on C14.
@caitlinrgreen Interesting! Are there any British or continental equivalents which might help w/ sequencing, or is Lincoln truly unique?
@SurreyMedieval Mick Jones has article looking at parallels to church in this: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4GvYAAAAMAAJ … Lincoln is particularly interesting >
@SurreyMedieval > though as graveyard on church site that cuts walls and has C14 dates :) Also nice new site report which helps!
