SSCR Archaeology - Episode 2

Welcome back for another episode of the Swindon Southern Connector Road Archaeology Series.

I’m Jessica Lowther, Community Archaeologist for Headland Archaeology.

Join me as I talk to Dr Sara Machin about the ceramics found during the excavations at the Swindon Southern Connector Road and what they can tell us about how connected the world was during the Roman Period.

We also get to hear a little about specialists... and specialists within specialists!
