Prof. Martin Millett FBA, Emeritus Laurence Professor of Classical Archaeology, Cambridge, & Co-Director, Aldborough Roman Town Project
I have spent my academic career combining fieldwork and excavation (across the UK and western Europe) with research on the impact of Roman imperialism on local peoples. I have also taken a strong interest in the application of remote sensing methods in archaeology more generally. Our project at Aldborough brings together these interests, and since 2009 we have revolutionised understanding of the Roman town and its environs. As someone who came to archaeology whilst at school and through an active local archaeological society, I’m also committed to providing opportunities for the widest range of people to make a real contribution through involvement in our project.

Dr Rose Ferraby, Research Associate Cambridge & Co-Director, Aldborough Roman Town Project
As an archaeologist and artist, I’m interested in people’s relationships with landscape. My own connection with Aldborough has deep roots, having grown up here, and the project grew from time spent surveying Roman sites with Martin in the Yorkshire Wolds and in Italy for the British School at Rome. I’m fascinated by the stories that continue to grow from the archaeology at Aldborough, and am passionate about telling these to wider audiences through art projects such as Soundmarks (created with Rob St John) and broadcasting through EarthWorks on BBC Radio 3 and the Sounding Aldborough podcast.
