Multi-period approaches to coin finds in Rendlesham and beyond

Saturday 28 September 2019, 10.00-16.30

Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge

Recent archaeological work at Rendlesham, Suffolk has recovered thousands of coins, representing material from the Roman to the Post-Medieval periods. These have been precisely recorded across a landscape, which has also been the subject of a number of other archaeological techniques. The site provides an opportunity to consider coinage over the long term in a rural environment. It also offers a chance to think across periods, comparing and contrasting approaches and conclusions.

This conference will bring together the latest results from Rendlesham alongside approaches and analysis from other scholars working with coin finds, landscapes and broad periods.
