Still Waters Posted February 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Two thousand years after legionaries tramped along its well-worn paving stones, an exceptionally well-preserved stretch of Roman road has been opened to the public – beneath a McDonald’s restaurant. In what the American burger chain says is its first museum-cum-restaurant anywhere in the world, the 150ft-long stretch of basalt road has been cleared, cleaned and made into a permanent attraction at Frattocchie, south of Rome. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/want-ancient-roman-heritage-stretch-152008888.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acute Posted February 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Thanks, SW. Great story! I wonder what date the burials were. Surely, they carbon-dated them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keel M. Posted February 23, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 23, 2017 They don't typically carbon date remains like that. They observe any materials buried with the individual and use that to obtain a date or range of dates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acute Posted February 23, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I guess they could carbon-date them in the future, if enough visitors ask the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
