Exploring Roman Britain
New methods and perspectives in Archaeology
Recent advances in geophysical survey and remote sensing have allowed archaeologists to map not only buried sites but entire landscapes without excavation.
Combined with traditional research methods, they offer new understanding of Roman provincial landscapes, from urban sites to rural settlement. This talk explores these approaches through fieldwork in Roman Britain (present-day Yorkshire).
