Holleyman Archaeology Lecture 2010: Barry Cunliffe speaks on; Country Life in Roman Wessex

A programme of excavation and fieldwork on the chalkland of eastern Hampshire has shown just how complex and varied life was in the Roman countryside. The villas and settlements evolved gradually over time within an agricultural landscape first laid out in the Bronze Age, each with its own character and distinctive history of development. The project has shed much new light on agricultural technology and raises fascinating questions about regionality, especially in vernacular architecture.
