Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Researchers at the University of York will partner with colleagues at Cardiff University on a three-year project investigating population movements around Roman Britain. The UKRI Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) has awarded £1.49m for the project, which will be the largest combined archaeological, isotopic and ancient DNA (aDNA) study into a Roman population ever undertaken. The project will build on recent excavations of Roman cemeteries throughout England and Wales and will use integrated archaeological and scientific methodology (including isotopic analysis and aDNA) to investigate mobility across Britannia, focusing particularly on people from rural and civilian sites and examining movements at provincial and within-Britannia scales.
