Wow, they uncovered a cache full of artifacts. What a great feeling it must have been for the researchers!
For a while I've been envious that there's so much to be found in certain places in the world (but not here). Sometimes people can't even plant a tomato in a new garden patch without unearthing something. The cities of Vesuvius were rediscovered when some local ruler had some workmen dig a well. :^)
