A Roman Studies Group Zoom talk by Professor Mike Fulford on 'The Silchester Environs Project'

Date: 
Tuesday, 3 November, 2026 - 19:30 to 21:00

Mike Fulford has kindly offered to talk to us on 'The Silchester Environs Project'. He led a research team in a five year project to explore the later prehistoric use of the c.140km2 landscape around Silchester Roman Town and its underlying Late Iron Age oppidum. Its base was an extensive desktop assessment containing a vast array of data, both old and new, which was incorporated in a project-wide GIS. It was further supported by various geophysics techniques, lidar, earthwork surveys, walkover reconnaissance, coring exercises and excavation. Much has been discovered so join us to hear more.

This talk is open to SyAS members who are also members of the Roman Studies Group. A Zoom link will be sent a week in advance.
