This introductory course will look at the some of the new material that has been uncovered by archaeologists relating to the Roman archaeology of North West England. Over 10 weeks the course will look at the Roman archaeology of the region from Hadrian’s Wall to Chester, and from the late Iron Age to the sub Roman period. The course will include the results of new research and fieldwork since 2000 at the Roman forts and settlement at Maryport, Ribchester, Chester, Burscough and Manchester, and Castleshaw and will look at the rural landscape (farms such as Poulton, field systems and agricultural specialisation), Roman death and burial, and the Vindolanda tablets which mention many North West sites.
