A Potted History of Archaeological Investigations at Irchester
Leicester Heritage Hub
(Irchester Field School and the Chester House Estate)



Text written by Prof Sarah Scott, Universtiy of Leicester. This booklet is a current work-in-progress.

I am fascinated by archaeology. I think because I am big on "social history", so FINDING OLD STUFF is just so cool to me- Who used these pots? What did they spend those coins on? Who decided that using an old carving of a stone torso instead of a brick when they laid that wall was a good idea? Looking forward to working on this this year.
