UCL Lunch Hour Lecture: Community archaeology and the discovery of an ancient Roman palace

The Community Archaeology Geophysics Group was created in 2013 as part of a jointly-authored research project that saw UCL and a group of local archaeological societies come together to undertake geophysical surveys on sites in Hertfordshire.

This talk introduces the group, and the techniques it uses before going on to show some fascinating discoveries. At the Roman city of Verulamium, St Albans, Hertfordshire the group have traced the line of the town aqueduct, found many small and large houses and, perhaps the highlight, found a previously unknown "palace” in 2022.
