Following the Roman Studies Group AGM, David Millum of the Culver Project will update us on excavations at Bridge Farm, a Romano-British settlement in the Ouse Valley, East Sussex. RSG members visited the site in Summer 2024, and David will tell us not just about the current season's excavation, but about the project over the last two decades.

The Roman Studies Group's November talk is on the subject of Roman glass. Professor Ian Freestone has kindly offered to talk to us about 'The Long Roman Glass Industry'.  

Our Summer excavation 2024 will take place at Cocks Farm Abinger. Following excavations on the scheduled Roman villa site our focus has moved to the field adjacent to the villa. Magnetometry indicated a series of field boundaries, ditches, pits and other anomalies (see https://www.surreyarchaeology.org.uk/content/excavations-at-cocks-farm-roman-villa-abinger-2009-present-interim-reports).

This conference has been arranged in partnership with the Roman Studies Group of Surrey Archaeological Society.
