WESSEX ARCHAEOLOGY RELEASES ITS FIRST ONLINE EXCAVATION VIDEO
Wessex Archaeology has released its first online video showing the remarkable excavation of a rare Roman coffin.

The limestone coffin, weighing three metric tonnes was discovered as part of the excavation of a Roman cemetery containing over 200 burials next to a substantial Roman settlement on Boscombe Down in 2007.


The video is at the site. I wasn't able to watch it all because the feed was pretty spotty where I am now.
