President's Lecture: Dr Andy Russel BA PhD MCIfA
‘Clausentum: Gateway to Roman Britain'
Remains of a Roman Wall, photographed by OGS Crawford in 1941
Dr Andy Russel, who is Acting Planning Archaeologist, Southampton City Council, will lecture on recent excavations in the Bitterne Manor area of Southampton. These have prompted a reappraisal of the archaeological evidence for trade conducted through this major port on the south coast. The concentration on olive oil, wine and Samian pottery suggests that Clausentum was an official port vital to supplying the Roman army and keeping Britain ‘Roman’.
