FINE WOOL WADDING IN A ROMAN STUD FROM CASTLE STREET, CARLISLE.
Author(s): P Walton Rogers
Short lengths of fine crimpy wool were found packed into the dome of a large copper alloy stud from Roman levels of Castle Street, Carlisle. Fine wool of this type first appears in North-West Europe in the Roman period and may represent the wool of the 'Tarentine' strain, brought into the north by the Romans.
