Brodsworth Archaeology Project The Brodsworth Archaeology Project is a landscape archaeology project centred on the Brodsworth Estate in South Yorkshire. The focus of the Estate is Brodsworth Hall which is owned and run by English Heritage. However it is the Estate land and the surrounding area which is the focus of this Project, not the Hall.
Gnalić In 1967 a shipwreck was discovered by the rocky islet of Gnalic, at the entrance to the Pašman channel, just to the south of Biograd, Croatia. It was soon realised that the wreck was a late 16th-century merchantman, which had sunk with its cargo intact.
Venus in Pompeii Nemus et templum: Exploring the sacred garden of Venus in Pompeii - The garden of Venus at Pompeii is demonstrably one of the earliest known temple gardens in the Roman empire.
Lincolnshire Cemeteries and Settlements in North Lincolnshire, c.700-1100 - This research project explores the development of Anglo-Saxon settlement and cemetery organisation, with particular reference to the comparatively understudied 8th to 11th centuries.
Study Group A: Self and Society In sociological and anthropological literature, the role of dress in human society has often been described as a form of non-verbal language or code through which people communicate to their audience their place in society, or `identity´.
West Halton Since 2003 we have undertaken fieldwork at West Halton. Our investigations on the green, and elsewhere in the village, have revealed a nearly unbroken 1,000 year sequence of occupation from the Saxon period until the 16th century, which is a comparatively rare feature of medieval settlements in this part of Lincolnshire.
