Archaeology 'catastrophe' means UK's Roman treasures at risk of being 'lost forever'

Summary by Ground News
Climate change is causing the soil to be dried out at some peatlands. The waterlogged soils cover around 10 percent of the UK, but rising temperatures could prove disastrous. Because peat contains very little oxygen, organic materials like wood, leather and textiles do not rot so they can survive for thousands of years. But if the soils dry, oxygen can enter the system, kick-starting the process of decomposition.
