Dr Nick Wilson
Roman Historian
In 2007, a Roman period lead-lined coffin was discovered at Hundayfield Farm, Grafton.
This discovery led to a large-scale landscape and geophysical survey of the surrounding area, prior to a 12 month programme of excavation.
In this talk, Dr Nick Wilson will discuss the results of his research which looked at how the nearby Roman period settlement of Isurium Brigantum (Aldborough) influenced both the organisation of the landscape and the social changes which occurred there.
Coming next...
