Thank you for such an informative and enjoyable talk. The Iliad mosaics are wonderful and it was fascinating to see them in context of the other discoveries on site. Congratulations to everyone involved in the project! Very much look forward to hearing more as your work continues.
It always boggles my mind that the Roman’s pulled out of Britain 400 years before the Vikings came. Romano-Britain seems closer to us in many ways than the medieval period.
Very interesting. I wonder if those who came after were living in the ruins or just camping there. Did they do so with respect for the previous occupants or indifference? Date of burials will be interesting... wondering how long after the end of occupation. The two lines of post holes or columns in the east and south end look like those structures are sort of aligned with each other but not so much with the rest of the site. I wonder if they are earlier. So many questions to enjoy answering for years. Thanks for the presentation... it was excellent.
Not wise to schedule it, should of moved the mosaic to a museum, You got lucky there in my oppinion as a lot of farmers would of destroyed the evidence on fear of having their farm scheduled and potential loss of future lucrative building permission and land devaluation . Saving one might of destroyed two others. These museums could build a steel structured mezzanine floor to display them or create a cut out in the concrete floor in a museum and put thick glass over the top so visitors can walk over it.
This is so interesting, thank you so much. Now the news is out, I saw it on the BBC today
How exciting.

Could the mosaic in the collapsed hypercourse area be the tiled floor just falling in?
