Welcome to Late Roman Silchester! The Silchester Town Life Project is an ongoing research
and training excavation exploring one part (Insula IX) of the large Roman town at Silchester from its
origins before the Roman Conquest to its abandonment in the fifth century A.D.
This website explores the archaeology of the Late Roman period at Silchester.
Using the links to the right, you can explore this site in three different ways: an Interactive Guide to Late Roman Silchester,
a Structure Diagram which shows all the main elements of the archaeology and
the relationships between them, or a Stratigraphic Matrix diagram which will be
familar to all archaeologists. Alternatively, the links to the left provide direct access
to the underlying Silchester project database.
