“Dual Carriageway” = limited-access divided highway = Interstate/Autobahn, more or less.

"He talks about how the myth of a peaceful prehistory has led archaeologists to call many weapons found in burrials "ceremonial" even if they are quite functional as weapons."

Very interesting comment to a very interesting post.

And Long Live Robbie Burns!

Since they still call them motor carriages, many many will use it. Will this turn the A1 into an M ? From my experience there in 2000 the A roads were 2 lanes while the M roads were 4+ lanes.

What I want to know is if they found any really cherry Bay City Rollers eight track tapes. That would rock!

......upgrading the A1 to dual carriageway status, following years of campaigning by road-safety organisations and MPs.

I drove that road once, in 1995. Dangerously busy, even then. A pair of lorry drivers tried to run me off the road.

Does this mean all work on the road they were digging is halted? Bet the union guys are mad, heheh.

Wish we could see some pictures of whatever they’ve found so far, I tried the link but it wouldn’t display the article, though the site came up.

IIRC, when the Athena of Piraeus was partially uncovered by a crew working on a sewer line, the crew tried to bulldoze it quickly so the archeologists wouldn't stop their job. Fortunately, they were discovered.

Here is part of the statue:

Agreed. Back then, if a man wandered too far from home, he was cut down or enslaved. Thats the way it was in all likelihood.
