ARTEFACTS hidden for close to 2,000 years are being unearthed at a dig site in Bedford.
Edith Cavell School, in Manton Lane, is being excavated by the Bedford Roman Villa Project. Along with the remains of a bathhouse, they have found a number of Roman artefacts.
On Friday, day four of the dig, they uncovered a jet bead from a woman's bracelet. The day before, they found a bronze spoon.
Steven Cockings, an archaeologist working at the site, said: "It's an amazing discovery, especially given how some developers skirt around regulations and damage ruins when carrying out building works.
"These findings are like sex on a stick for archaeologists."
