Remains of Roman settlement and cemetery discovered in England

In 2017, scientists discovered the remains of a Roman settlement and burial sites in the English countryside of Fenstanton, Cambridgeshire.

Researchers found two cemeteries and several “lonely” graves with up to 20 bodies. What’s more, over 100 kg of pottery and animal bones as well as bracelets, hair pins, brooches, over 200 coins and 11 kg of mussel shells were discovered.

Archaeologists also dug up the remains of wells, which proves that there was once an urban centre in this place.
