That’s not serious, that’s just stupid.

Yeah, I think it’s just part of the site, and easier to recognize than ordinary structures. Somewhere there’s a file (maybe not here) about a pre-Roman (Etruscan, I think) version of Venice — basically an ancient city built with canals.

So, if you don’t, how did you know it (BCE) was in the text?

It was in the browser teaser. All ya' gotta' do is use BCE or AD (After Dating) and you lose me completely. (AD's tougher to see, but they usually qualify it so as to not offend their colleagues.

Thank you Jumper! In Yorkshire a medieval Viking site has been covered by more than eight feet of soil in circa 1000 years.

Gee, leave it to the Romans to create a well layed out town, nothing like the ragtaggled towns I’ve seen.
