Geoarchaeologist Tom Keyworth, York Archaeology, explores the 2020 Cromwell Quarry excavation, its landscape, Anglo-Saxon and palaeoenvironmental context. 

He will discuss its links with the 8th-century bridge that was discovered at the site of the Cromwell Lock, which is contemporary with a landing stage in an ancient course of the River Trent. 

After the talk, join Post-excavation Archaeologists Rosie Hughes and Morwenna Fox from York Archaeology to examine Anglo Saxon finds discovered in Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire, revealing everyday life in the Anglo-Saxon Trent Valley.
