Incredible rare Roman statues found in HS2 dig

HS2 archaeologists have unearthed a “once-in-a-lifetime” discovery of Roman statues and artefacts. Archaeologists in Buckinghamshire working on the HS2 project have uncovered a set of incredible rare Roman statues whilst excavating a Norman Church in Stoke Mandeville. In the final stages of the excavation at the site of the old St Mary’s Norman church in Stoke Mandeville, archaeologists were excavating a circular ditch around what was thought to be the foundations of an Anglo-Saxon tower. As they dug down, they uncovered three stone busts which are stylistically Roman. Two of the busts comprise of a head and torso which had been split before deposition, and the other just the head. The two complete statues appear to be one female adult and one male adult, with an additional head of a child. The discovery of these amazing artefacts caused excitement amongst the team working on the site who described it as “uniquely remarkable for us as archaeologists”. In addition to the statues, an incredibly well-preserved hexagonal glass Roman jug was also discovered. Despite being in the ground for what is thought to be over 1,000 years, the glass jug had large pieces still intact. Archaeologists working at the site were able to remove what they believe to be almost all of the fragments. The team can only find one comparison for this, a completely intact vessel which is currently on display in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Other finds include large roof tiles, painted wall plaster, and Roman cremation urns. #HS2 #Archaeology Find out more about HS2's archaeology: https://www.hs2.org.uk/archaeology/ Follow us on social media: Twitter:   / hs2ltd   Instagram:   / hs2ltd   Facebook:   / hs2ltd   LinkedIn:   / high-speed-two-hs2-ltd   If you have a question about HS2 or our works, please contact our HS2 Helpdesk team on 08081 434 434 or email [email protected]. 0:00 Early excavations 0:42 Introduction to morseoleum 1:03 Take a look at the statues 1:28 Other findings 2:15 An evolving site
