Image of a Late Iron Age Fineware Jar
Late Iron Age Fineware Jar 25 -75AD, Found at Hartsdown, Margate in 2003

The image from the Virtual Musuem 365 project today is of a Late Iron Age ‘Belgic’ Fineware jar, which was reconstructed from sherds that were found together in an archaeological feature at a site excavated at Hartsdown, Margate in 2003.

The joins between each sherd were matched and carefully glued to reconstruct the profile of this vessel which now forms part of the Trust’s display collection.
