Archaeological finds from bypass to go on display
Leicestershire County Council has announced it will host an event to showcase archaeological finds discovered during the construction of Pork Pie Way.
It said items discovered during the road's development included prehistoric flint tools dating back to about 12,000BC, as well as a fossilised vertebrae from a Jurassic Ichthyosaur - a large marine reptile that swam in ancient seas more than 200 million years ago.
The council said the event will take place at Melton Carnegie Museum on Friday from 10:00 BST to 15:00, before finding a permanent home.
Alex Romankiw is a civil engineer who worked on the bypass and spoke to 麻豆社 Leicester's Ady Dayman.
