Archaeological projects have been undertaken at Highwic in recent years which have brought to light hundreds, if not thousands, of artefacts. These help piece together information about the history of the site and where particular structures were located. 

Join archaeologist Caroline Phillips to view artefacts and learn about what has been found and what has not been found. This talk will be followed by a walk around Highwic.
