Subject: Heatwave reveals England's lost prehistoric sites

Features in a ceremonial landscape near Oxford date from 4000BC to 700BC.
The heatwave has continued to reveal details of England's ancient past to archaeologists. Surveys from the air have revealed Neolithic ceremonial monuments, Iron Age settlements, square burial mounds and a Roman farm for the first time. Historic England said the weather "provided the perfect conditions" to see the crop marks because of the lack of moisture in the soil.

At times, for me, it felt hotter than the Philippines over the last few weeks.

Well, at least that darn heat was good for something after all. 8)

Yes indeed, and I hope that research into this has been done and achieved.

That's interesting! 4000 BC is quite old. I hope they move on to excavate!

Not a video of the program, just a write up on it.

Well, they're using drones. But the article doesn't say whether or not they will excavate. I guess after the drones scale the area they will begin the excavation.

On what I saw on the program, some of the sites cannot be excavated on.

There must be some very fragile artifacts then. Please keep us up to date on this. I would love to know what else they find!
