Lecture 9 January 2024: Recent Discoveries at the Bridge Farm Roman Settlement - David Millum6/2/2024
David Millum, co-director with Rob Wallace of the Culver Archaeological Project, gave a summary of the recent excavations of the Romano–British settlement at Bridge Farm, near Barcombe Mills. Whilst the main theme of the talk was the features and artefacts found in Trench 7 during 2018-23, they also included a brief background to the site as well as their current thoughts about how this 1st to 4th century settlement evolved and how it fitted into the wider Roman landscape of south-east Britain. Anyone who missed their previous talk to WAS in 2018 and who would like to catch up on the features and finds revealed in the six previous trenches excavated between 2013-18 will find earlier PowerPoint presentations and written summaries on the project's website: www.culverproject.co.uk
 On New Year bank holiday, 2nd January 2023, in glorious sunshine, a group of WAS members did 'The Walk of the Rings - there and back again' between Cissbury and Chanctonbury rings. Some mince pies were eaten... The views over the flooded River Adur were stunning.  Three archaeology dogs came along too.  The 2022 season dig at the Malthouse Field Sompting started on the 15th August and continues until the 4th September. A photo blog of the dig can bee seen on the page: Discoveries/Digs-History/Sompting/Malthouse_Field.
