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.

This was not the first time that the river had caught on fire. Fires occurred on the Cuyahoga River in 1868, 1883, 1887, 1912, 1922, 1936, 1941, 1948, and in 1952. The 1952 fire caused over 1.5 million dollars in damage.
On August 1, 1969, Time magazine reported on the fire and on the condition of the Cuyahoga River. The magazine stated:
Some River! Chocolate-brown, oily, bubbling with subsurface gases, it oozes rather than flows. “Anyone who falls into the Cuyahoga does not drown,” Cleveland’s citizens joke grimly. “He decays”. . . The Federal Water Pollution Control Administration dryly notes: “The lower Cuyahoga has no visible signs of life, not even low forms such as leeches and sludge worms that usually thrive on wastes.” It is also — literally — a fire hazard.

Uh, wrong continent.
Upper Sala-din?
ROTFLMAO!
Thanks for posting this. I feel a lot less concern about the targeting capabilities of those Iranian nuclear tipped rockets.
We know these guys would have been eaten alive in East Cleveland, Ohio.
In Ohio, we have Canton, Russia, Berlin, and Mesopotamia. There are a few other international cities/countries, too.
“If there were truly a Roman settlement in the US then Biggus Dickus would be running for POTUS.”
You telling me he isn’t??? :)
Wow, have any of the recent storms actually changed the location of Cleveland? /sarc
“The headline on the linked story clearly says US.”
U.S.
U.K.
What’s the difference? All roads lead to Rome.
(/sarcasm)
but seriously folks...
