Marks from the Past

The marks on objects found at Calleva connect us to the people who lived there in a unique way.
Touching a fingerprint that was made in wet clay links us to the person who made it nearly 2000 years ago.
Unusually for the distant past these men and women have left us their names, marked on items that survive today.
