A"remarkable" Roman villa complex unearthed by archaeologists in England contains miniature axes and other artifacts that may have been used during rituals.
Over time, the complex came to encompass several aisled buildings dating to the late first and second century. They hold four enormous column or post bases that are among the largest of their kind from the Roman era in Britain. Next to these buildings, archaeologists found a"winged-corridor" villa with multiple rooms connected by a central corridor.
"The site is far more complex than a regular rural site and clearly was an important center of activities for a long time, from the Bronze Age to the later Roman period," Francesca Giarelli, a project officer at RRAG, said in the statement.
