Other Roman-era finds at the site included large roof tiles, painted wall plaster and cremation urns.“ https://todayuknews.com/science/archaeology-roman-statues-found-underneath-the-site-of-a-norman-church-in-stoke-mandeville/amp/ Edited February 11 by guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caesar novus Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Those statues are wonderful; I love the signature dispassionate expression. Hopefully they can do a test to ID original stone quarry. I bet many similar finds in other countries went straight to the black market.
