Question about those Roman concrete anchors they found in a river in England
I was reading a report from the University of Southampton about a dig near the River Itchen. They pulled up a bunch of wooden anchors from the Roman port, and one was dated to around 85 AD. The cool part? It still had its iron tip, and the wood was in crazy good shape because of the wet mud. I always thought stuff that old just rotted away. Has anyone else seen a picture of that anchor? It looks almost new.
