“The

a

bit

of

a

mystery”,Frank

Giecco

from

Wardell

Armstrong

said.

“There

is

a

very

nice

cropmark

recorded

on

the

site

that

has

got

lots

of

people

very

excited.Geophysicists(地質(zhì)物理學(xué)家)failed

to

find

anything

related

to

the

cropmark.There

is

anecdotal(趣聞的)evidence

of

Roman

material

being

found,but

nothing

is

officially

recorded.We

hope

to

finally

answer

the

question

of

what

is

in

this

field,during

the

two

weeks

on

there

evidence

of

any

Roman

occupation

on

the

site?Can
