Aldborough Excavations 2019-2023
The Aldborough Roman Town Project began in 2009, with the aim of learning more about the remains of Isurium Brigantum, and what it could reveal about Roman Britain. Over the past sixteen years a wide range of survey techniques has been used to map the buildings and roads as well as pulling together previous work in the area. A great deal has been discovered about this Roman town which was an important centre of administration for much of northern Britain.
More recently a series of excavations have taken place and these have not only added to our understanding of the town, but have also changed our perception. Evidence of metal working on an industrial scale, in particular, helps us to see Isurium Brigantum in a new light.
In this talk, Martin will bring together the results of the post- excavation analysis and give us his most up-to-date thoughts on this remarkable site. We encourage you to join us in St Andrew’s Church for what promises to be a fascinating talk.
