A teaching excavation led by the University of Vienna in Hannersdorf, Austria, has uncovered two Roman era pottery kilns dating to the first and second centuries CE, part of what geophysical surveys suggest could be a vast production complex with as many as 100 more kilns still hidden underground. The find, in the Roman province once known as Pannonia, includes clay pits, waste pits packed with pottery fragments, and everyday wares such as bowls, cups, and storage vessels.
