30,000 finds in Lincolnshire

In northern Lincolnshire (England), scientists discovered nearly 30,000 different objects and finds from different historical periods. Among them are ceramics from the Bronze Age and a Roman burial.

The excavations are part of a project to build the world’s largest wind farm. The discoveries will be at the Scunthorpe Museum. Among others, the following were dug out of the ground:

• oyster shells that were arguably extremely popular in Tetney’s Roman times.
