Mystery Beneath Manchester: Ancient Roman Road Found Just Inches Underground—What Secrets Does It Hold?
Miller explained that the newly-unearthed Roman road could recontextualize these previous discoveries, and that they should be reanalyzed with this new find in mind. The road could help archaeologists better understand what types of structures and buildings would have been present outside of the fort.
The excavation team hopes to have the artifacts that were recovered from the road put on display after they’ve been thoroughly studied.
“The analysis of the dataset from the excavation will hugely improve our knowledge of Roman Manchester,” said Ollie Cook, director of the Civic team. “Cultural heritage is key to sustainable placemaking, and it’s rare finds like these that tell a story for generations to come.”
