Field School Information

The Silchester Field School takes place every summer for six weeks during which time all first year archaeology students at Reading attend along with external participants from all over the world. The excavation, which investigates Insula IX of one of Britain's most enigmatic Roman cities, has gradually increased in numbers participating year by year since its beginning in 1997.
