Archaeologist Phillipa Foulds examines Roman pottery found at the site (29010540)
That is quite a dish!
I was reading about the island of Colonsay in the Hebrides. It is the ancestral home of the McDuffie Clan. One thing which caught my attention was the discovery of a hazelnut factory dating back to 6000 BC.
These islands were not only occupied but engaged in interesting activities.
The Romans rebuilt a Celtic seat into a Roman town. It did not have a major garrison, but was a road junction where Watling Street fanned out to the Kentish ports.
Most archeaologists only find pottery sherds and broken broaches with the odd coprolite thrown in for excitement. It’s only the really good looking archeaologists who find unbroken pots.
It’s the UK. Its been been continuously populated for over 3000 years. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting skeletons over there. They even found one of their kings buried under a parking lot.

What? You mean the locals cannot stop site development due to “Ancient Tribal Burial Grounds” as they do in the US?
