Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A great deal is known about Roman Britain, but much of this focuses on the elite. This article outlines areas where present knowledge is lacking in relation to the poor people of the time, including those who worked the land, tradespeople, craftspeople and construction workers, and the physical environment in which they lived. Some unanswered questions and some of the problems facing researchers are identified. The author then describes how he has been using sources from better-documented times to tackle some of the issues: medieval records and depictions can help us understand what some aspects of life may have been like in Roman Britain. Parallels between different periods can also be seen in the archaeological record, with evidence for change following the Norman Conquest of 1066, for example, being much less easy to identify at the level of the peasantry than at the level of the king, the church and the aristocracy.
