<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 2250805, member: 8708&quot;]We are near Cirencester or Roman &#039;Corinium&#039; so archaeology everywhere. Mosaics and villas documented locally and pot sherds easily found. In the town they did an archeological dig before putting up an office block and found a huge Roman cemetery. The most amazing find was a large headstone to a woman named &#039;Boudicacia&#039; age 27. My kids LOVE the fact that it just *could* be the Boudica/Boudicca/Boudicea Celtic warrior they have learned about at school and in Horrible Histories!. How cool is it that she *could* have been buried in our town and she *could* have walked the same land. That&#039;s how archaeology should happen-finds that inspire our children to be interested in the people and the historical events, not how much money an item can put in their pockets.</p><p><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-31610266" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-31610266" rel="nofollow">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-31610266</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
