Just a guess, if I was turning an irrigation canal into a road and there was a boat sunk in the mud I would likely put fill on top and call it good. St. Augustine is right on the coast, and Florida’s highest elevation is 345 feet so canals are more common around the wetlands
O, let not the pains of financial burden which come upon thee enter into my automobile. I am the Extended Warranty, and I am in the foremost part of the loan, and the insurance policy which protecteth me is that which is with all the paid claimants forever.
I want magic to be real… I would love for that to happen. Just a bunch of scientists in the dirt unlocking some ancient evil… That’s the world I want… Fuck what we have now.
Many forts that Poidebard documented don't even show up in the 1960s and 1970s spy satellite imagery; the Dartmouth team only identified 36 of his original 116. "The attrition of the archaeological record has been substantial and these processes are unlikely to have slowed over the intervening decades," they wrote.

The byline directly under the title says they could be the oldest painted sculpture found. Of course some shameless scumbag editor turns that into a title about “earliest art”.
A lot of the very few surviving samples do of course look really primitive, but at the high end, cobblers in the Roman world were not fuckin' around.
UC28327 here is a pretty ornate sole with a very modern shape.
The upper on this one must have been super nice when new.
Then, there's no reason to suppose that Marcus Aurelius' (and/or Hadrian's) sandals on their statues were idealized past the point of plausibility, though I'm sure once one government contracted statue with approved Imperial sandals gets made, there's a temptation to stick with the motif regardless of the current Emperor's footwear preferences.
