Yes, video says they left "all" the weapons "on" the ground.
Well, as there were quite a number of bolt-heads maybe it would be more accurate to say they left them "in" the ground.

I don't understand german , but the speaker seems to speak about Varo's legions and Theotoburg.
Are there some links between this new discovery and Theotoburg battle?

Cinna,
from another forum, the "famous" Friebe-Forum, I heared that it was announced for 11.30 with bus-transfer to the location afterwards.

First statements from the press conference (only in German)
www.pr-inside.com/de/roemer-nach-niederlage-im-teutoburger-wald-r967845.htm
In short words: around 1.000 Roman legionaries between 180 - 260 AD victorious. Dr. Moosbauer (Archaeologist from Kalkriese):"... may-be a revenge-campaign in 235 AD against Alamanni after a raid across the limes in Hessia, at the Roman side also Syrian archers involved ..."

Re: Roman battlefield found deep inside Germany - Gaius Julius Caesar - 12-15-2008
Excellent pictures.
My exact thoughts Peronis.
What is that large round Item on the square base?
Also, I wonder if that spike wit hthe ring was used to tether a horse to a tree?

not sure if we mean the same one but on 3sat they said it was part of some cart. The other is what you call "Hering" in German: a tent peg
Re: Roman battlefield found deep inside Germany - Peroni - 12-15-2008
The swan headed "wagenkastenaufhängung" ring fitting looks like a terret ring of sorts perhaps for the guidance of reins.
