James and James visited the Archaeology Fair at Harlow Museum and Walled Gardens to catch up with other members of the Friends of Harlow Temple group. The Romano-Celtic temple at Harlow was in it day one of the most developed temple complexes of the Romano-Celtic type, featuring ancillary buildings as well as the iconic square-within-square floorplan temple building itself, which housed a statue of Minerva a fragment of which survives and may be seen in the museum.
Byrga Geniht has extensive research into the significance of this building type, and a teaching contextualisation of this research was one of our earliest 3D renders (link below).
Also at the Archaeology Fair was a very special local object, the Harlow Dodecahedron. This object is of a type whose meaning/purpose was discussed during the Q&A in a recent lecture James W gave at Corpus Christi, Cambridge, and was the subject of advice given to Soulton Hall, Shropshire, ahead of a future art project. James and James enjoyed discussing the dodecahedron with members of the UCL / Archaeology South-East team who brought the artefact (along with a handling-collection 3D print of it) to this event. Archaeology South-East undertook the excavation at Newhall, Harlow, which unearthed this spectacular find.
