A Typical Assemblage? - by Lindsay Allason-Jones

Roman Roads Research Association

Lindsay will discuss what 'typical' finds we might expect to see at various types of Roman site along the road network.

<h3><strong><strong>A Typical Assemblage</strong></strong></h3><h4>a talk by Lindsay Allason-Jones</h4><p>25th January 2024, 7:30pm GMT</p>

<p>Roman roads cut across landscapes heading towards sites or by-passing them. All these sites, whether military or civilian, produce finds but the day we held in Berwick recently on the matter of the Devil's Causeway led to the question: is there a typical assemblage that one might expect to find on a fort or on a Romano-British settlement?</p><p>This talk looks at the finds that might be discovered in a Roman fort and on a Romano-British settlement site but also discusses the assemblage that might identify the Roman equivalent of a motorway service station. What has been found along Roman roads and why do artefact discoveries tend to cluster around river crossings will also be considered.</p>
