Professor Martin Bell and the Living Levels Partnership
Join us for a fascinating evening as Professor Martin Bell from the University of Reading demonstrates how archaeological evidence can illustrate the rich record of past human activity and changing environments in the Severn Estuary Levels.
The talk concerns 27 years work on the foreshore archaeology locally. It will include stone age sites including footprints, Iron Age and Bronze Age settlements, at Goldcliff. Martin has appeared on the likes of ‘Coast’ and ‘Time Team’ and is an entertaining and engaging speaker – he even brings along artefacts and encourages you to do the same!
