The decade of the 1750s in archaeology involved some significant events.
Explorations
- 1755: At Bath, England, when the Priory or Abbey house is demolished and the foundations are cleared, stone coffins, bones of various animals, and other things are found.[1] Upon digging further, hot mineral waters gushed forth and interrupted the work: the old Roman sewer had been found, and the water was drained off. Foundations of regular buildings were traced at that time.[1]
