Roman neighborhood ruins uncovered in Lyon

[Melvadius]

Digital Journal has a photo strip article showing several images of recent excavations, in advance of the construction of a new hospital, which uncovered an area of ancient Ludunnum which was burnt and then rebuilt.

 

The article has several paragraphs of general background but then a few photographs of the site with good descriptions of what the archaeological features depicted indicate about the history of the area excavated, I've removed most of the general background in the extract below where the photostrip really starts.

 

.....The next 2000 years witnessed the slow burial of Lugdunum
