Parts of my local are 600 years old, and there's a Roman road about 5 minutes walk away from my house. I'm always amazed when I look at an Ordnance Survey map and see the amount of tumulus (burial mound) and other ancient structures. We are surrounded by history but mostly unaware of it. I sometimes wonder about what's out there waiting to be discovered. Perhaps one day we'll have archaeological drones roaming around looking for undiscovered treasures.

Quite a long way in the past.

That's not what I'm thinking of really - I should have been clearer - I was thinking more of something like the Mars Curiosity rover - autonomous drones, not necessarily aerial, probably solar powered, able to roam around on their own for months/years at a time looking for interesting stuff.
