Archaeologists uncover massive ancient site during rail project, including rare Roman find

Archaeologists in Central Europe have uncovered more than 1,000 ancient artifacts ahead of railway construction, including a rare Roman-era tool used to make metal wire.

The news was announced in an April press release from the Archaeological Center Olomouc (ACO), a research institution in the Czech Republic.

The finds were made along a roughly three-quarter-mile stretch that will serve as part of a high-speed railway between Nezamyslice and Kojetín, two Czech towns in the Haná River valley.
