I enjoyed reading this blog. I love how you incorporated how archeologists and urban planning have worked together to find ancient artifacts. I never thought that was a way archeologists were discovering new things. This also makes me think that many things get destroyed or lost because of construction and urban planning.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this blog! I love how instead of abandoning this difficult project due to the numerous historical artifacts discovered along the way, archeologists and engineers are working together to preserve these ancient artifacts.

I think this is so interesting, and I am so glad to hear ways in which urbanization can not only preserve but also appreciate history even as infrastructure is built through it. It is extremely frustrating to think of all the historical documents and archeological wonders are lost due to the carelessness of people, and I really hope this joint effort between Archaeologists and city planners will continue this effectively across the rest of the world.

What an interesting topic! I thought you gave a great overview of the subject and I had never really thought about the link between archaeology and urban planning before. It makes me wonder which artifacts have been destroyed in the construction of American cities and how much these types of things are taken into consideration.

I love this! Such a collision of the old and the new... in (literally) creating new paths for the future, the past is discovered and displayed. The history of Mussolini's disregard for these artifacts is also interesting. I remember that much of the ideology of his fascist regime pointed to the Roman era, and emphasized a sense of Roman heritage as the source of a shared, nationalistic identity... Ironic, then, that Mussolini would be so cavalier about the preservation of these artifacts when building. But then again, industrialization and urbanization were priorities too, as you note. Another collision, maybe?
