The discovery of the #Roman #massgrave in #Vienna continues to make waves.
We presented the story of the discovery and preliminary results of the #excavation, which we carried out in cooperation with the Department of Urban #Archaeology of the City of Vienna, in one of the largest YouTube vlogs #InsideArchaeology. The Canadian archaeologist Rachel spoke with our #anthropologists Michaela Binder and Sheridan Strang, as well as the project manager on site Anette Slonek.

"Near the foot of one skeleton, the archaeologists also discovered shoe nails that came from distinctive Roman military shoes called caligae" #massgrave #soldiery

For #Findsfriday, we have a find from the #Roman #massgrave in #Vienna, #Simmering. It consists of several scales of Roman #scalearmour, also known as lorica squamata. Scale armour appears in our region from the year 100, influenced by #cavalry #soldiers from the east of the empire.
What is particularly interesting is that the scales from the Hasenleitengasse have square perforations - unusual, as these holes are normally round

Today, we would like to introduce you to our colleague Thomas Weniger: He uncovered numerous #skeletons during the #excavation of the #Roman #massgrave. With great patience and precision, he freed the individual skeletons from the surrounding earth by hand - supported by fine tools and a hoover to carefully remove the earth. A job that requires a sure instinct!

“One by one, they were hit, they were struck, their bodies were gathered and buried,” Whittall said. “We’re digging them out in their uniforms, with their gloves on.”

Ambulances, as well as UN and civil defense vehicles, were found crushed and buried under the sand, Whittall added, accusing Israeli forces of trying to cover up the scene.
