Archaeologists in Switzerland have discovered a large Roman settlement in Gebenstorf in the Canton of Aargau. The area is slated for a major modern redevelopment and the race is on to preserve this piece of history before it is lost forever. The excavation only began earlier this month and expected to find a small amount of Roman archaeology underneath the redevelopment site. The intention had been to conduct a relatively quick survey and dig at the 3,200 square meter (34,450 square foot) site, and recover all useful archaeology before the development could commence.
