guy Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) This an exciting find by a farmer’s son who used pottery shards and satellite imagery to investigate this site during the shutdown. “Jim Irvine, son of landowner Brian Naylor, made the initial discovery after spotting "unusual pottery" on a walk during the 2020 lockdown, and contacted the archaeological team at Leicestershire County Council. The Rutland mosaic is thought to be unique in the UK as it features Achilles and his battle with Hector at the conclusion of the Trojan War.” https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leicestershire-59391650 https://www.google.com/amp/s/phys.org/news/2021-11-extraordinary-roman-mosaic-villa-beneath.amp Edited December 1, 2021 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
