Archaeologists were very excited by a recent discovery in the heart of modern Berlin, found during construction of a parking garage. A church, a grave yard with skeletons, a school, and a cellar were found.
The cellar sounds the least exciting, but it recently became the prize find when its oak beams were dated for the first time. Berlin has previously been dated as far back as 1237, using Catholic Church records, the helpful friend of every Medievalist. The beams were cut in 1192. That’s a full forty year earlier than our earliest records of Berlin!
