mmmmmmm Always unsure about this sort of thing. At the end of the day it's unlawful exumation and what about RIP? Reflective clothing and HARD HATS. whats that about? Only heaven could drop things from above! No Latex gloves, quite normal for archiologist's. Skin sweat, body fluids and salt to contaminate everything. And a load of verbal assumptions and bullshit!

I still feel that developers shouldn't be able to just 'destroy a burial ground' though, they should be made to construct buildings over the top! ridiculous when the council makes me use wheat straw on my my roof (rather than reed) but lets them destroy a roman cemetry!!? where's the logic in it all grrr!

Thanks for the explaination, thats fair enough (and hey - the romans had a history of not caring what they built over either!).
Glad the coffin will be on display!
One of my pet hates is thousands of artifacts hidden away beyond reach! I am sure one day people will re-excavate museuem basements!! :) |
