With every excavation new finds are discovered. Each one give a valuable insight in to life in Isurium Brigantum and, in some cases changes our perception of what life was like in this important Roman town. After each dig, the finds are sent to specialists who begin the process of analysis on the coins, glass, bone, ceramics and the paleo-environment.
