It is hard to feel connected with history
in today's world. Life was so different back then, but a discovery made by
archeologists in England shows that pups were just as big of troublemakers as
they are today.
Archeologists uncovered artifacts that
could be nearly 2,000 years old out of the Blackfriars area in Leicester. It
was in this city where the long lost bones of King Richard III were previously
discovered in 2012 under a parking lot. The Wardell Armstrong Archeologists
were brought to the dig site after some artifacts were discovered by
construction crews that were building student housing. At least one of the
tiles plucked from the earth were stained by dog prints, while others were
marked with hoof prints of a goat or sheep. These prints were etched in history
after these animals stepped on the clay before it way dry. It is quite an
amusing thought to imagine some miffed person shooing a dog and sheep off of their
freshly made tiles.
In addition to the animal-printed tiles, archeologist's
also uncovered Roman tweezers, brooches, coins and painted wall plaster.
