A volunteer in Bath, England, has recently come across a remarkable archaeological find.
Heritage Daily reports that Fiona Medland appears to have found the earliest mosaic, believed to be from the 1st century, during an excavation at the Roman baths.
She found the mosaic, in creamy buff color, made of small, local stone, on the floor of a Roman room.
Medland is part of a team of volunteers from the Bath & Camerton Archaeological Society helping professional archaeologists.
Their latest effort, the Archway Project, seeks to expand the public viewing area for the Roman Baths and build a new World Heritage Center for the city.
Both spaces are set to open in 2019.
