Tiny bone dice, recovered from the Solent after over 400 years buried at the bottom of the sea. These dice are a favourite among many of our visitors, divers, archaeologists, staff and volunteers. #MyFavouriteArtefact
Conservation and Heritage Science Intern, Sian Blake, explains why they love the dice:
"The dice are my favourite artefact from the Museum due to their size and the number recovered from the site!"
