An American archaeologist has uncovered the foundations for a Roman settlement on east Cleveland coast in the United States.
According to a report in The Northern Echo, archaeologist Steve Sherlock has found a 1,600 year-old site for creating jet jewellery, with the help of volunteers from the Teesside Archaeological Society.
Sherlock's latest discovery comes a year ater he uncovered evidence of Anglo-Saxon royalty in a farmer's fields near Loftus.
Aerial photographs first guided Sherlock's Iron Age research project to the location in 2004, showing evidence of an Iron Age enclosure. Then last year, the site revealed 109 Anglo Saxon graves.

Historians find Roman tower on cliff tops
....I think the Iranians need to work on their geography...
This is a stretch, Sherlock. You must be a Dimmy.
Doh! Cleveland doesn’t have an east coast right? Just a Northwestern one.
I didn’t know Cleveland was on the coast. Kookcinich apparently found the keys and is working Rove’s Weather machine...............
Correction everyone, there’s another Cleveland across the pond.
This East Cleveland is in the UK.
LOL. It’s got a lake shore. I’ve only been around Cleveland on the interstate. The traffic was loony. Made Mass Pike drivers look like pikers.
Must have been digging in the back of Agustus Obama’s movie lot.
Faber College?
Toga, toga, toga!!!!
Uh, I think this Cleveland is in England, not the US.
Yep, this one belongs right next to the Soviet broadcast on the US invading GrEnada using a map of Spain, showing GrAnada which of course is not on the coast.
The article linked clearly says it is in the “United States.”
Oh my G-D!....You mean there’s TWO OF THEM??????...............
Yeah, but it’s wrong. None of the places mentioned in the article are in Cleveland, Ohio. Redcar? Loftus? In fact, the two Clevelands are sister cities. The Redcar band from England has come to Ohio in the past.
No sh*t, Sherlock!
Perhaps they meant the satellite photography analysis was done in the U.S.
Either that, or it was just another typical journalist’s goof.
Damn! I had my waders and a shovel and pail all ready.
Does this mean Italians now get to open casinos, too?
