SSCR Archaeology - Episode5

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

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

Joining me this time is special guest Dr Melanie Pomeroy-Kellinger from the Wiltshire Council.

Melanie explains her involvement in the work at the Swindon Southern Connector Road, a bit more about the importance of the site and the Roman Town of Durocornovium.

We also get to talk a little about the way that commercial archaeology works in the UK!
