Sections of the Roman camp wall foundations were dated with a new technique known as “optically stimulated luminescence” (OSL). In physics, OSL is a method for measuring doses from ionizing radiation and this made it possible for the scientists to assess the last time  quartz crystals  in the foundations were exposed to sunlight, revealing how long they were buried under the walls, thus, disclosing the date of the wall’s construction. Lomba do Mouro is the oldest scientifically identified Roman camp to date in northern Hispania. It was constructed by around 10,000 Roman troops. The researchers say the soldiers were “crossing the Laboreiro Mountain between the Lima and Minho rivers” and that it was designed to be a  temporary fortification . The rough shod architecture informed the scientists that the camp was designed to be used for a day or weeks, and that the army built it precisely where it was found because the Romans were “crossing on high ground for safety.�
