300 ad Crowded and here I am always wishing I lived in the oh so countryish past.
I thought everybody already knew the Romans were in Britain?
This may sound like a stupid question but ...
Archeology is all about literally uncovering the past. It almost always involves digging up artifacts or evidence of ancient practices, sometimes buried under several feet of soil.
My question: where does all this soil come from? Why does all this ancient evidence always seem to sink into the earth? What natural phenomena conspire to literally bury the past?
The cardo and decumanus?
