STEAM and Swindon Museum & Art Gallery are hosting their first Archaeological conference in honour of Bernard Phillips who was a leading member of Swindon's archaeological community, and heavily involved in the excavations of its most iconic sites.

The Roman Swindon and Environs Conference will take place at STEAM – Museum of the Great Western Railway on Saturday 12th November, between 10am and 5.15pm.

The conference's packed programme provided by professional archaeologists, community groups, academics, and researchers will look back at Bernard's contributions to the understanding of the history of the Roman Swindon, as well as the excavations at Littlecote Roman Villa.

There will be updates on the recent excavations along the Southern Connector Road and the geophysical surveys of Durocornovium, excavations at Wroughton which are revealing the Roman and Saxon settlement and work in advance of the developments at Wichelstowe Farm.

The day also contains updates on long running specialist investigations in the Roman complex at Groundwell ridge and the Roman Chiseldon cauldrons, now at the British Museum.

Tickets cost £22 (includes refreshments and a buffet lunch).
