When a group of amateur archaeologists began exploring an ancient Roman site in the eastern part of England, they didn’t expect to find anything “spectacular.” “There was nothing to indicate there was anything special there,” Richard Parker, an archaeologist with the Norton Disney History and Archaeology Group, told McClatchy News in an interview. In their roughly six years of explorations, the group has found “very normal things in archaeological sites in England,” Parker said. In June, they began excavating their first Roman site near Lincolnshire, which is about 115 miles north of London.
