Luxembourg, Exploring Roman Britain: Talk by Prof. Martin Millett
The society is excited to invite you to an outstanding evening taking you back in time to Roman Britain in the company of Martin Millett, Emeritus Laurence Professor of Classical Archaeology in the University of Cambridge who will talk to us on recent advances in geophysical survey and remote sensing techniques which 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).
This talk is organised by the Cambridge Society and the National Institute for Archaeological Research (INRA). It will take place in the highly appropriate Gallo-Roman Theatre at Dalheim which is one of the most important Gallo-Roman sites in the region. The well-preserved theatre dates from the 2nd century AD.
