possible villa in Serbia

[renegades]

hello everyone my name is Gary Cullen ,i am not an archaeologist but i do have a very keen interest in the subject as well as this im an advanced open water diver and professional tattoo artist,in my spare time i try to locate ancient wrecks off the greek coast and i also do sme metal detecting "not the dodgy kind 'anything i find is reported andreferenced etc and the local museums are given anything i find,I have been researching Serbias roman past and i believe i may have found something of interest i was studying roman artifacts found in a certain region in Serbia and i gathered enough information for me to form an idea to use google to search the serbian countryside and after several hours i appear to have located a huge complex of sorts all i can say for the time being is that this region has produced a lot of roman coins and several forts but so far no villas as far as i am aware of ,if anyone has any ideas or has an opinion on the photographs i would welcome any advice on them and how to proceede with this,what i can say is the photographs were taken from my laptop screen as google earth wont allow me to snapshot the area and the single field is 900 meters long the apparent crop marks are very large some 260 metres x 250 approx there are no houses farms or any buildings within 5 kilometres of the field no roads just a few dirt tracks use by farmers so this rules out in my view an old factory take a look and let me know what you think,i dont know how to upload using this method so if you wish to see the photos email me on renegadestattoostudio@yahoo.com and ill email them to you for you to look at "any arial photographic specialists out there ?"

First thing to do is email me the images, and I will put them up for you.

My suggestion would be to get in touch with a group called BAlkan Heritage (they are carrying out fieldwork looking at Serbian Frescos... they may well know who to contact about this...


here is their website: http://www.bhfieldschool.org/paxo09.html

i normally would contact this kind of organisation but my email to you would give you some reasons for my hanging back a little,im waiting for a specific archaeologist to contact me, he is honest and he is also the top man and he can be trusted,this region is full of archaeology but corruption is even bigger,he is also a friend of my wife so she has made an initial contact on my behalf,ill keep you informed as to how things develop ,

Ah.... good... I am glad you have such a contact.. this may be a major site.. and this is not the sort of place you want to be ... shall we say .. looked at too closely.
