Spatula
Description
Wooden spatula from the Roman site at Newstead. The spatula has a long scoop for about half of its length, and a handle with a knob at the end. Excavations at Newstead have revealed much about the layout and daily life in Roman forts in Scotland. Officers in the Roman army possessed better cooking and serving equipment than the lower ranks.
