Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Venta Icenorum - one of the digs, near to Caistor st Edmund, Norfolk, Great Britain.
For the first time in 75 years archaeological excavations will be carried out within the walls of the Roman settlement of Venta Icenorum (Caistor St Edmund), one of only three Roman towns in the country that have not been built over by modern settlements. Venta Icenorum is thought to have been established in the aftermath of Boudicca's failed rebellion of AD60-61. The site has been subject to digs before but these took place outside its walls. One of the cemeteries (including a skeleton) was found last year outside of the town, and by digging within its walls archaeologists are now hoping to find out whether an Iron Age settlement may perhaps be lying underneath it. Caistor is a protected site and any research has to be planned in depth before permission to excavate is being granted. Visitors are welcome and archaeologists have marked out the streets of the Roman town to give people the chance to get a feel of the original layout. The progress of the archaeological dig will be featured on television in a Time Team documentary. |
