Discover Irchester Field School and Uncovering Roman Carlisle

Join us online for a free webinar looking at two exciting archaeology engagement projects in the East Midlands and Cumbria.

Hosted by the CBA's Executive Director, Neil Redfern, after the presentations you will have a chance to put your questions to our speakers.  

Irchester Field School

Sarah Scott (University of Leicester) and Ben Donnelly-Symes (Northamptonshire Archaeological Resource Centre) from the Irchester Field School (IFS) team will be giving a brief introduction to the IFS project covering how it started and what has happened so far. They will give an overview of the archaeological history of Irchester and touch upon the wider collaboration and engagement elements of the project including working with volunteers, students and schools.

Uncovering Roman Carlisle 

Nick Henderson from the team at Uncovering Roman Carlisle will give an introduction to the community archaeology project excavating the largest known building on Hadrian's Wall - Carlisle's Imperial Roman complex. In this talk you will hear about the origins of the project, what has been discovered, and what makes a community archaeology project like Carlise's run.
