Abstract
The late Roam silver hoard from Traprain Law (East Lothian) was found over 100 years ago but is still revealing fresh secrets. A recently-published research project (see 'Book Reviews') involved an international team of specialists analysing all aspects of this silver, from its manufacture and use to is later treatment, burial, recovery, and modern life. Every one of the 300 fragments can tell many stories, but here i'll focus on just two, to give an idea of what we've discovered.
