    Speaker: David Rudling

    The Ouse valley is a key communication route from the Channel coast, via the Downs to the wide expanse of the Weald. It traverses and encompasses landscapes and archaeological sites of both local and regional importance - all connected by the river Ouse and its valley. David will review the archaeological fieldwork that has been undertaken in the valley to investigate and record Roman-period settlements and land-use. He will look at the emergence and fates of sites such as the native settlement at Bishopstone, the villas at Newhaven, Beddingham, Barcombe and Plumpton, and the nucleated settlement at Bridge Farm, Barcombe Mills. He will also consider the main Roman roads in the valley, and the iron working sites north of Barcombe.

    Dr David Rutling is the Academic Director at the Sussex School of Archaeology, having previously been Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at the Centre for Continuing Education at the University of Sussex, and Director of Archaeology South-East which is part of University College London. He has directed a wide range of fieldwork on sites of various periods throughout Sussex, notable sites including Roman villas and tile kilns, Romano-Celtic temples, a Middle Bronze Age settlement site and various medieval urban sites in Hastings, Lewes and Winchelsea. He is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, a Member of the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists, a trustee of the Council for British Archaeology South-East, and Chairman of the Brighton and Hove Archaeological Society.
