Subject: RE: Sea Mills Community Project & Big Roman Dig


We haven't really finalised anything yet, but I've been told by a colleague
in the City Archaeologist's office that the area between Sea Mills Lane and
Branscombe Road may be a good location. So that's south of the Trym, but
only just!
I've sent a proposal to Time Team, but haven't given a definite location so
we can move it if necessary.
Perhaps at some point, as and when enough people have expressed an interest
in taking part, I should come and talk to them? That will give me enough
time to firm up ideas from our end and we should be more focussed by then.

I knew Sea Mills used to be Abonae, but are you interested in digging north
or south of the Trym? There are the Roman Offices south of the Trym, which
is actually Stoke Bishop.

Sue.
