Huge gladiator school found in Austria

Archaeologists have found an ancient Roman gladiator school in Austria. It is almost as big as Rome’s Colosseum. This gladiator school features never before seen a wooden training dummy. And outside the gates they found a first known gladiator cemetery grounds. The school is absolutely huge. This newfound school is very important because it’s the only one of this size and scale to be found anywhere in the Roman provinces. The school was probably built at the same time as the adjacent 13,00-person amphitheater, which was made around A.D. 150 during the Roman Emperor was ruling Marcus Aurelius. This gladiator school is twice the size of Wal-Mart. There are tiny dormitories, heated floors, etc. Next to the training complex there is a walled field, or campus, which may have been housing for wild animals. And a place for exercising horses. This is information that I have learned about the gladiator school is Austria.

Archaeologists do many things to investigate ancient cultures. When archaeologists find objects in the ground they then make an archaeological record. So now they can learn more about the people from the past. The archaeological record of the objects on villages in the ground becomes sealed with layers within the earth. But then it might wear away and it might reveal something. They then examine the surface and then they dig to find the evidence. Once they know where they are going to dig they carfully remove each layer by layer. And they carefully record every location where they find an object. Artifacts give them many clue for different time periods in history. Then have been covering cities for thousands of years and they believe that the deepest layer is the oldest. When acraeologist try to find out how old things are they use two different types of methods cultural dating and scientific dating. For example if you reaserch about the Roman empire, written sources will tell you about the coin from roman times. The process of gathering information is cultural dating. To find out more about the roman coin you then compare it with other roman objects. Other two types of dating are absolute dating and relative dating because they can't always tell how old an object is. Pottery is a very good example because they made pottery in different time periods so it helps with relative dating. The oldest form in scientific dating is dendrochronology. Radiocarbon dating is when they measure to determine how old the object is. But they can only use it for once living things like wood and bones. Every living thing absorbs carbon so when it dies it stops.
