🔎 The expert’s view

Who do you call when you find something as astonishingly rare and unique as the king from a tafl set? Mark Hall!

Mark is a leading specialist in Roman and early medieval games, and Collections Officer at Perth Museum & Art Gallery.

“It is extraordinary to find a glass tafl gaming piece like this in such perfect condition. They’re as rare as hen’s teeth,” he told us when he came to inspect it!

We’re at Durham University, doing some archaeological science with a group of Venturers. You can watch as we perform a series of experiments on some of the soil samples we took from inside the Anglo-Saxon building we were investigating in 2018, to provide new details about what was happening on the island.
