With many ongoing building projects in the works, archaeologists in London are quite busy as remnants of Roman occupation, the Bedlam cemetery, and other yet to be determined sites are uncovered during construction. They have found many skeletons and are doing DNA testing to determine cause of death, background, etc. It is hard to believe that such a busy modern city is also a very active archaeological site.

  Whole pots were preserved inside timber dwellings destroyed by fire. Archaeologists discovered there was still food in some of them.
