Current Archaeology 424 – ON SALE NOW - Current Archaeology

This month’s cover feature takes us to Holme Hall Quarry in South Yorkshire, where archaeologists have uncovered dramatic evidence of how this frontier region was transformed during the early Roman period. Extensive, systematically planned field systems sprang up across the landscape at this time – but do these changes represent an innovation of local Iron Age peoples, or a land-grab by an occupying army? Innovation is a key theme in our next ar…Archaeology · Leicestershire Read Article

Fields and farmsteads: Organising the early Roman frontier region in South Yorkshire

Excavations at Holme Hall Quarry, between Doncaster and Rotherham, have revealed how the landscape was transformed into extensive, carefully planned field systems and farmsteads during the early Roman period. Was this development the work of local Iron Age communities, or a land grab by an occupying army? Francis M Morris, who has recently completed post-excavation analysis and publication through Archaeological Research Services Ltd, explains m…Archaeology · Doncaster See the Story

The Romans in Colchester

Years ago, I often used to take students to the Castle Museum at Colchester. It killed several birds with one stone. There were great Roman things to see (including the buried remains of the Temple of the Emperor Claudius), but it was also a good prompt for getting students to think about museum display and about the different ways of engaging visitors with the Romans in Britain. I remember that the big hit with the students was always the dress…Celtic · England See the Story

Excavating the CA archives – Roman Chester - Current Archaeology

Roman Chester – Deva Victrix – is one of the unquestioned ‘great sites’ of Roman Britain. This was a major military centre from its late 1st-century AD origins through to its abandonment in the late 4th/early 5th centuries AD, and significant parts of the town survive beneath the medieval and modern city. Current Archaeology has been on site there since the start of the magazine, and its repeated visits shine a light not just on the evolution of…Archaeology · Chester See the Story
