Same thing happens in Greece, where if you want to build a house in, say, Athens, you run the real risk of finding ancient artifacts when digging the foundation and having your build halted so archeologists can come in and take them.
- detritus 6y agoSame thing all over and I know for a fact that construction companies in my home town would often simply destroy or bury artefacts they found, rather than risk a long and costly halt to a job.
- kunfuu 6y agoThat's terrifying, given so much of the ancient world is still unknown to us.
- londons_explore 6y agoThe London Crossrail project (underground railway) specifically disallowed any employee to look at the dirt they were digging, just incase they saw a bone or an ancient pot. They put extra covers and opaque screens in the conveyor belts for dirt so that none could be seen by accident.
