Dig Yields More of Shakespeare’s Theater

Archeologists excavating the ruins of Shakespeare’s Rose Theater in London said they may have discovered remains of the entire estate that surrounded the 16th century playhouse.

The first remains of the theater--where the English bard learned his craft and where many of his early plays were performed--were discovered in 1989.

Excavation resumed last month and revealed well-preserved planks and posts believed to have been part of the Little Rose estate, according to English Heritage, which conducted the excavation.
