Archaeology and Shakespeare

It looks like archaeologists have located The Theater in East London. In addition to the Globe and the Rose, it was a theater used by Shakespeare's company, The Lord Chamberlain's Men.

The work is being done by archaeologists from the Museum of London. If you have the chance to visit the MoL, I highly recommend you do so. Not only is it an amazing repository of archaeology and urban history (like Romans? The Tudors? You'll love this place), it's located in the old City of London, near the Roman walls.

If you're interested in an archaeological and social historical analysis of Shakespeare, his theaters, and the plays, check out The Archaeology of Shakespeare: The Material Legacy of Shakespeare's Theatre by Jean Wilson.

Don't say I don't hook you up.
