I've just been looking at an article about Roman London, specifically about a Temple found and removed from below the Legal & General building in 1954, which is now going to get placed back for a new development...
One item mentioned in the article is that...
"Roman London is seven meters below current day ground level"...
Why is it archaeology gets covered like this? Is it dust and dirt?... Floods?... Mud?... Shit?... Plant cover?... I mean, muddy land gets wet you push coins into it, I get that, but whole cities?...
And, since we've concreted and tarmacadam so much ground are we stopping this natural covering???
