Preview:For the first time since 2002, a research excavation has been undertaken at Fishbourne Roman Palace, but this was not an excavation in the conventional sense. In March this year we took a sample of approximately one tonne from the spoil heaps created in the 1960s when the Palace was originally excavated. Of course, the sample was of mixed and unstratified excavation waste. It contained modern artefacts such as bottle tops, nails and 20th century coins that were left by the archaeologists nearly 50 years ago, but crucially also any Roman material that they did not recover or deliberately discarded.
