We have a programme on TV called Time Team, where they go and do digs on random places.
Tonight they were digging up a field looking for a roman villa. They were finding coins from about 300AD.
They also found an Iron Age roundhouse.
Got me thinking about the US and how modern it is....... I know the native americans have been on the land for ever, but their impact wasn't like that of the iron age, the romans, the industrial revolution, the dark ages etc etc...
I couldn't imagine living somewhere with no history.... Or old buildings!! Old artifacts...
We also have the antiques roadshow (can you tell what sunday TV is like now....) and they had a ring from about 1200AD... and all these random things people have sat in their houses handed down from generation to generation....
I mean, my town was founded in the 7th century, and parts of it are ancient.
What do your archeologists dig up???
