*Sold Out* ERO Presents: A round-up of archaeology in Essex
An overview of some of the most interesting and important archaeological digs that have recently been undertaken or are still being dug.
Join speaker Maria Medlycott for this talk which will highlight some of the more interesting archaeological fieldwork that has taken place in Essex over the last couple of years.
It will look at both some of the very large landscape-scale sites such as the Lower Thames Crossing and the A12 as well as a number of the smaller sites, such as that of Tilekiln Green, Great Hallingbury.
The intention is to show the range of archaeological fieldwork that is undertaken in Essex every year and how together it all adds to our understanding of the origins and development of Essex.
