Archaeologists will begin excavating one of the most intriguing areas of a Roman town in Norfolk next week (13 August). Caistor Roman Town was established in the AD70s and was the largest Roman town in East Anglia. It was once the territory of the Iceni tribe and the warrior Queen Boudica, who famously rebelled against Roman rule in AD 60/61. It is also one of only three "greenfield" Roman regional capitals in Britain that were not succeeded by medieval and modern towns. Caistor initially came to public attention in 1929, when an aerial photograph, taken during a dry summer, revealed its streets and buildings in a famer's field.
