Facing the cliff: An update on the Archaeology of East Wear Bay
Description: The archaeology at East Wear Bay is primarily known for its Roman villa complex discovered and excavated by Sussex archaeologist S.E. Winblot in 1923-24. Winbolt also discovered evidence indicating that this building overlay the remains of an earlier villa and tantalising suggestions of Iron Age remains preceding both villa phases. It will be the focus of this talk to discuss the pre-Roman archaeology discovered in recent excavations, what can be learnt from re-examination of targeted areas of the Roman villa complex, and how the artefactual and faunal remains can better inform the site.
