Amazing. As somebody wrote yesterday, “You can’t sink a spade in England without finding ancient relics.”

Were “Roman trackways” roads? The Wiki entry “Ancient Trackways” redirects to “Historic roads and trails.”

Is this the Brits’ famed sense of dry humor?

I once went to Israel about thirty years ago. While talking to a native, the topic of archeology came up. He said, Israel has been occupied by humans for untold years. It was almost impossible to find an area in Israel that did not have significant archeological artifacts. And while walking around, his statement seemed very true. For instance, I was in a market and the back wall of some merchant stands was a stone wall. What made the wall interesting was that it was made in three different styles. The inference being that that wall had been made many hundreds of years ago and had been repaired several times over the years.
