This is a boring, overplayed, anti-science trope. The uncertainty is even visible in the title: "Romans may have destroyed..." It's a headline to draw interest to the story about a dig. Journalists need a hook. Nobody clicks on "Archaeologists found a pot on Tuesday."

- throwaway894345 4y agoMostly agree, but I would click the shit out of "Archaeologists found a pot on Tuesday." :)
- arkitaip 4y agoSame here. There is something about the mundaness that piques your interest.
- hgazx 4y agoCalling something “anti science” is a boring overplayed trope by itself.
- klyrs 4y ago> This is a good example of why archeologists shouldn't be believed. Sometimes, a spade is a spade. What I responded to isn't just a shallow dismissal of the article, it's a shallow dismissal of an entire field of study based on a malicious interpretation of an article's title. That's anti-science.
