In this undated image released by France's Culture Ministry Tuesday May 13, 2008, a life size marble bust of Julius Cesar is seen. The bust, probably dated 46 BC, was discovered last year after underwater searches in the Rhone River near Arles, southern France. (AP Photo/Culture Ministry, C. Chary/HO)

That's really, really cool.
If you're the folks who found this, how do you follow up that act?

researchers are trying to uncover "in what context these statues were thrown into the river,"
that was my first thought as well.

It might not have been thrown into the river at all. Rivers do change their course over time.

The bust reminds me of Charles Bronson from the Death Wish films..
Nice nice find, add in the finds of gold and jewelry in the German river and underwater archeology is quickly becoming the cutting edge, the mask and air tank are replacing the brush and screen...
Speaking for myself, I would love for some old Constantinian Bibles to come to light....
