the record-breaking heat wave is proving long-lost history of the British Isles

Record heat wave in the UK and Republic of Ireland is making history in more than one way: dozens of underground archaeological sites have aerial photographs, their positions reveals indicated by ‘cropmarks’ temporary in the parched landscape. Besides well-known conditions settlements have a number of new sites has shown previously lost to human knowledge. In Scotland, the new findings are a temporary Roman camp and stone structures of the Iron Age. fly in Wales, surveyors through a known prehistoric settlement found new evidence of a Roman villa built for the same reasons. And in Ireland, a historian with a drone you think you have discovered a new Henge – or stone circle – that could be 5,000 years old. “We do not know at exactly what it was,” said historian Anthony Murphy Lonely Planet. “As soon as we landed, we sent some pictures of some archaeologists, and they were just very excited about what we found out.” How does the phenomenon of work? It all has to do with the depth of the soil in which the plants grow. Where there was a historic excavation or foundation, the soil is deeper and more mature full of nutrients and water, so they planted over fast cultures. On the contrary, where there was a wall or enrichment, the soil is shallow, which means take more time to mature cereal. The differences are visible only in the warm season, when the plants need all the water they can get. newer structures have also indicated due to the heat wave. A primary school in the north of England shared the position of the old air-raid shelter of World War II the school a picture on Twitter of hot unveiled. And demolished at Fulham Palace in London, the foundation of a chapel in the 18th century showed up. “Both new shows archeology, is incredible,” said Toby Driver, the senior air investigator for the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, which was the number of pages to photograph a race against time before air can the inevitable rain comes. He mapping and recording his findings, so that the records of ghostly sites remain long after their temporary phenomena disappears in the ground. image
