According to the BBC, about 22,500 archaeological sites are in danger. Approximately 10% of the British landscape is surrounded by these wetlands, which are ideal for preserving ancient artifacts. As the soil dries out, as the concentration of oxygen increases, all areas that have not yet been explored begin a rapid process of decomposition. Construction took place between 122 and 126 AD during the Roman Empire, and this is an area that has not yet been explored on a small scale, but has many possibilities. According to the site’s chief archaeologist Andrew Birley, the wall area is a “time capsule”. In the same area, Fort Vindolanda is another historic site, which experts say is in danger. At this archeological site, interesting discoveries such as the Leather Roman boxing glove have already been made. In that note, Claudia Severa, the wife of the commander of a nearby castle, invited her friend to a birthday party on September 11, about 1,900 years ago. Another study by Rosie Everett of the University of Northumbria in the UK. The expert believes that this danger extends to the Old Age, from the Bronze Age to the Paleolithic. Everett explains that 10% of the artifacts found at the site are considered “dry.” Wet area.

Experts note that as temperatures rise, wetlands in the UK are drying up, which could affect the preservation of future archaeological finds.
The soil of these areas is Little oxygen, Which helps protect organic materials such as clothing, leather goods and wood. As the soil dries out, all the areas that have not yet been explored will begin the rapid process of decomposition due to the increased oxygen concentration.
“This place is going to be very open and exciting. Everything used by the Romans It may have been preserved here for 300 or 400 years in the same condition that it was rejected, which is an incredible opportunity, “Birley explained.
It was also found in Windolanda The oldest letter in the world Written by a woman’s hand. On the note, Claudia Severa, the wife of the commander of a nearby castle, invites a friend to a birthday party on 9/11, about 1,900 years ago.
Gillian Taylor, a researcher at Desite University in the UK, is doing a detailed soil analysis of the UK’s wetlands.
“It simply came to our notice then [materiais orgânicos ainda na região] Will disappear. If we do not focus on what is happening now, we will lose our heritage, ”said Taylor.
Explains that Everett is considered an archeological site “Dry” About 10% of the material can be found in wetlands.
“These kinds of artifacts [orgânicos] Usually does not survive. These findings help us understand what life was like in the northern hemisphere about 2,000 years ago, “said researcher Gillian Taylor.
