It included fieldwalking, geophysical surveying and a three week excavation. Clive’s talk will reveal our new discoveries of Roman Sheffield and the ‘forgotten frontier’ that runs through our city. Other discoveries dating from the Stone Age to Iron Age will also be discussed as Clive takes us on a journey through time. The Time Travellers will host this event in the main hall of King Ecgbert School, Totley Brook Road, Sheffield, S17 3QU, where finds will also be on show. Entrance is free and doors will open at 6.30pm when refreshments will be available. The presentation will start at 7pm and last approximately 1 hour, followed by an opportunity to look at some of the artefacts. Car parking is available at the school. Seating is limited to 300 and as we are expecting a large attendance please arrive in good time to get a seat.

HughW Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I'm guessing the 'on 30' should be before the 'March 2017' Which is a pity as I will be away...at the Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference in Durham. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
