MOLA archaeologists at work on mosaic unearthed in Southwark
(Picture: MOLA Andy Chopping)As an archaeologist, the thing I love about London is that wherever you are in this extraordinary city you will be part of story that goes back thousands of years. The recent discovery of the largest Roman mosaic to be found in London in 50 years beautifully (literally!) illustrates my point.
Museum of London Archaeology excavating ahead of the redevelopment of a site in the shadow of The Shard have uncovered an intricately tiled floor, decorated with thousands of red, white and black tesserae.
