Romans and Natives
in Central Britain
A one day conference at the Devonshire Institute,
Grassington BD23 5AA on Saturday 29th October 2016.
Recent large projects, many funded by developers, have
highlighted a growing interest in the frontier lands on either
side of Hadrian’s Wall, an area that can loosely be called
Central Britain. The focus of this geographical region is
arguably centred on territory that came to be associated with
the Brigantes, but a gulf still exists between the historical
and archaeological evidence. From landscape studies and
excavation to scientific artefact analysis, a range of papers
at this conference will consider the evidence for interaction
between native groups and Roman conquerors in and
around this central zone.
