Roman Fingerprints Found on Ancient Burials

Archaeologists just uncovered actual fingerprints left by Romans 1,800 years ago—on the plaster they smeared over their dead before burial! Turns out, they used a liquid gypsum paste to cover bodies, leaving behind handprints and even fingerprints that are still visible today. This wild discovery in Yorkshire gives us a literal touch from the past and might even help scientists figure out who did the burying—family or pros? DNA testing is next! #History #Archaeology #RomanBritain
