A Roman settlement filled with ancient artefacts and human remains has been found on a west London building site.
Archaeologists excavating the listed Syon Park site made the discovery of more than 11,000 Roman items just half a metre below the ground.
They were digging on the land ahead of the construction of a new hotel on the outskirts of the historical Syon Park Estate, near Brentford.
Part of one of Roman Britain's most important roads was also found.

“Pick a dilly ping.”
Always a circus.
A little bread with that and the plebes will love ya.

Interesting...I've posted many times that the Dems are a heart attack and the Pubs are cancer.

Taxes became too high. People refused to pay them. Rome was too weak to collect, and so could not pay her army on the borders of the empire. The Legions were withdrawn and the Western Empire fell.
Are we detecting a pattern here?

I’ve always wondered about the difference in depth at which items are found.
The disparity seems to be irregular even when the items are located in the same general area and from the same relative time.
I mean, I can understand things in desert countries being buried under drifting sand dunes at varying depths, but it has always puzzled me how towns like Troy, built on rocky hillsides can wind up with six or seven layers of buildings built one on top of another.

Worms. Earthworms turn up the soil. Or so I once read here.
You’ve just answered your own question - you’ve got two posts there from about the same time, and they form two layers themselves.

Sure does. It's funny how the truly wealthy manage to stay wealthy while others are taxed to death.
