| Abstract: |
Reports on the findings from the east of England that have emerged from the Roman Rural Settlement Project, a major national project based at the University of Reading which is using archaeological reports to address questions about settlement form, architecture, farming, industry and ritual expression and how these changed through time and across the landscape. A pilot study revealed the huge potential of unpublished 'grey literature', and this has been examined alongside published reports. Whilst a development-led bias in the sites recorded is acknowledged, in the east of England area the project has allowed our understanding of how people lived and farmed in the Romano-British countryside to be considerably refined, and has provided information on pre-existing Iron Age settlements and levels of continuity following the Roman conquest. The project will continue over the next two years, and the results are to be made available as a fully interactive database and GIS (geographic information system) that anyone will be able to access.
