Archaeologists have unearthed a Roman road, a Bronze Age ditch and some medieval artefacts during major road improvement works in Wiltshire. The historical remains - including three iron horseshoes - were found in the upper layers of the Roman road. Archaeologist Neil Holbrook said the findings had been recorded and added: "The Romans didn't have horseshoes. "We seem to have proved by the discovery that the road continued in use into the medieval period."

How is this news, It's like archeologists someday discovering a ripped up tire on the side of an ancient American highway along with the flatten remains of of a raccoon.

 

Well, maybe 1,000 years from now people will be amazed by a flattened raccoon.

 

 

Could lead to the discovery of a previously unknown raccoon civilization...which adopted Roman ways after their fall.
