Reinterpreting Roman Roads in the Chilterns - insights from LiDAR data

Roman Roads Research Association

Ed and Nigel talk about the insights from the 2018/19 LiDAR survey in the Chilterns.

<h2>Reinterpreting Roman Roads in the Chilterns - insights from LiDAR data</h2><h3>a talk by Dr. Ed Peveler &amp; Nigel Rothwell</h3>

<p>In the winter of 2018/19 high resolution LiDAR data was acquired by the Chilterns Conservation Board (CCB) to investigate archaeological features, and particularly the Iron-Age, within the Chilterns. These data, which have been made publicly accessible through the Beacons of the Past Project, have shed new light (literally and figuratively) on an intensively managed Later Prehistoric - Roman agricultural landscape.
</p><p>We will look at some of the characteristics of 'known' Roman Roads within the Chilterns AONB and illustrate how these data have helped in reinterpreting the relative importance of some of them. We will also explore implications of the discovery of a new alignment of Roman Road on the likely route between Verulamium and Silchester, the so-called 'Camlet Way’.
</p><p><strong>This presentation will take place via Zoom, and will be followed by a Q&A session.  Attendees will receive a link by email after registration, and on the day of the talk. The meeting room will open to the public at 7:15pm with the talk starting at 7:30pm.</strong></p>
