SOUNDING ALDBOROUGH 2021 Episode 2

In this episode we look across the site at the end of the excavation and discuss the newly discovered late Roman buildings, ideas of re-use and re-building within the town. We join Gigi and Brian as they record the fantastic section through the street. And as we backfill the trench we chat to four Cambridge Classics students as they chat about their experience of digging, how we understand people in the past and the joy of sharing our discoveries.
