This is really cool, but I do think as a profession we need to stop framing us finding things as "halting construction". The villa was almost certainly uncovered by archaeologists working on the site as part of the planning conditions. That is what the majority of us do!
Construction on a Supermarket screeches to a halt after workers uncovered an #ancient #Roman Villa With Mosaic-Tile Floors. Archaeologists excavated the site on Warrington Road in Olney, Buckinghamshire. #Archaeology
