Over the last year there has been some interesting archaeology discoveries and some projects to improve some heritage sites in Dorset. Dorset Council’s Historic Environment Team has organised an evening webinar for the public to share some of the fascinating discoveries that showcase some recent projects.
Members of the public are invited to this FREE webinar on Wednesday 26 May, 6.30pm to 8.30pm to hear from:
- Sam Moorhead (British Museum) will talk about some interesting and recent finds of Roman coins in Dorset
- Kate Rogers (Assistant Receiver of Wreck) will present on the Work of the Receiver of Wreck – the latest on shipwrecks off the Dorset coast
- Steve Wallis (Dorset Council) will provide an interesting presentation about how Dorset Council, working with partners, have improved the Roman Town House based in the grounds of County Hall in Dorchester
- Paul Hamnett (National Grid), and John Boothroyd (Oxford Archaeology) will talk about the results of the important archaeological excavations that have been found on an electricity scheme project where cables cross the South Dorset Ridgeway underground – also known as the Dorset VIP Scheme.

Will this be available as a recording later. I am unable to join you tomorrow. I do hope so, I would really like to hear the updates.
Hi, will this be made available as a recording after the event? 🙂
Dorset Past and Present 2021. Excellent talks, thank you very much. This sort of thing should be done frequently. Just one comment, good talks can be spoilt by poor audio. The presenters should always use a headset with a quality microphone. The majority of microphones in laptops are of poor quality. On this occasion I think that there was just one speaker who did not use a headset that spoilt his talk and his answers to the questions that followed.
Also, the link to give feedback took me to the web site of “Granicus”, but it was not clear where one should make ones feedback.
I was given a link to the webinar on 26 May by a friend and found the whole experience very interesting. Each module was presented so clearly and I was particularly interested in the work being done on the Roman Townhouse – I live in Glyde Path House just behind Colliton House.
I am a volunteer gallery steward at the Dorset County Museum and it would be good if I could be included in any future virtual lectures you may do.
