Wow! Look what we transported last week...

Ancient roman sarcophagus found at London building site

Not a job you get involved with every day... transporting an ancient sarcophagus from site to the Museum of London archive where it will be now be analysed.

The 1,600-year-old coffin found near Borough Market is thought to contain the remains of a mother; the bones of a baby were also found nearby. Archaeologists lifted the lid of the stone coffin on Tuesday and found small bones and a broken Roman bracelet.

It is believed it was the coffin of a high-status inhabitant of Roman London, but this won't be known for sure until the bones and soil inside are tested and dated.
