Archaeologists from BU have discovered human remains and artefacts which give new insight into how early Britons adapted to life after the Roman invasion.
Amongst the grave goods excavated from the 2000-year-old burial pits and graves are Roman-style wine cups and flagons, which suggest that Mediterranean alcohol had become popular addition to British life around the time of the Roman conquest in AD 43.
Students and staff from Bournemouth University have been excavating Iron Age settlements at the site at Winterborne Kingston for over fifteen years. Whilst they have previously discovered human remains and artefacts from before the Romans arrived, these are the first finds that can tell the story of people who lived through the invasion of Dorset.
