The Roman Foundation

The Roman Foundation is a method used in archaeology to precisely locate and document the original position of ancient Roman structures and features in the earth. It involves analyzing the remains of foundations, pavement, and other underground remains to understand how the Romans built and organized their buildings. By studying these foundations, archaeologists can reconstruct the layout of Roman cities, determine construction techniques, and gain insights into Roman engineering and urban planning. This method helps preserve historical information and provides a clearer picture of ancient Roman civilization without disturbing the entire site.
