A 2000-year old Roman bridge has been found in Aegerten, Switzerland. Dendrochronological techniques have dated this bridge in 49 BCE, when the Romans defeated the Helvetii. The final restorations of the bridge occurred in AD 369.

A well-preserved wooden and iron plane (pictured below) was found in the oxygen-poor, damp soil that preserved the tool.
