Archaeologists marvel at the latest discoveries unearthed during excavations at a Roman temple complex in London. A sealed Roman container was opened today to reveal a 2,000-year-old cream - complete with fingerprints. The metal artefact, measuring 6cm in diameter and showing little sign of decay was unearthed during archaeological excavations at a Roman temple complex in Southwark, London.  Experts lifted the lid of the round metal pot at the Museum of London this morning. Archaeologists were surprised and delighted by the discovery of the white paste with a sulphurous odour.
