Roman battlefield found deep inside Germany
Quote:true enough, but then many objects could indeed be Roman, so we can go either way. You’re correct that there are no typology models for throwing weapons, but to draw the conclusion that such remains could be Germanic would be equally unfounded.
This is all I want to say, actually. I think it is far too early to draw many of the conclusions that have been drawn. Big Grin

Quote: I'm not comparing anyone in particular to Dan Peterson, but do you recall how he tried to explain away Kalkriese as a 'mule station with a Roman wall around it plus at best a shoebox worth of Roman finds'? :oops:
Yes, I do. Big Grin
