Archaeologists ‘Amazed’ by Discovery Inside Ancient Roman Egg

Researchers are expressing astonishment at an unusual discovery within a remarkably well-preserved bird’s egg that has endured for over 1,700 years, revealing the presence of still-liquid content.

The egg was initially unearthed during excavation activities conducted between 2007 and 2016 at the Berryfields site in Buckinghamshire, southeast England.

This archaeological venture revealed a substantial, waterlogged pit or well, dating back to the Roman period in Britain between A.D. 270 and A.D. 300.

Within the pit, archaeologists uncovered a trove of artifacts, including pottery vessels, coins, leather shoes, animal bones, and a woven basket containing a collection of eggs.

Among these, one egg has captivated researchers due to the unexpected preservation of its liquid contents.

“Of particular interest were the eggs, which were a rare and exciting find. Despite the incredibly fragile nature of the eggs, the team on site were able to retrieve one intact,” a blog post from Buckinghamshire Council’s Heritage and Archaeology Team reads, Newsweek reported.
