If you are choosing Roman Britain as a Class Civ topic ...
The site called 24 Hour Museum reports on a dig at Corbridge which has been going on for some time, but for the first time, as far as I know, they have pictures:
Excavations at Corbridge in Northumberland have unearthed spectacular discoveries that offer fresh insight into what is thought to have been the largest stone bridge in Roman Britain.
Steadily being eroded by the River Tyne, the remains of the bridge were in urgent need of preservation when Tyne and Wear Museums, backed by English Heritage and a £303,500 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, began work earlier this year.
Over the summer, archaeologists, joined by volunteers from the local area and all over the country, unearthed the full length of the bridge’s retaining wall and some of its elaborate decoration.
Experts now believe they have enough information about the bridge to piece together a picture of what an awesome sight it once was.
Read the rest and see the pictures.
Thanks to David Meadows and Explorator for this.
