Wednesday, October 9, 5:30 - 7:30

Dr. Steven Sherlock shares his site with the public at Street House. 2024. 

Join Dr. Stephen Sherlock in an exploration of archeological sites in Northeast Yorkshire from the Neolithic period to the Roman arrival. Dr. Sherlock, whose experience as an archeologist spans four decades, will present on his work at Street House, a small yet archeologically rich site on the Yorkshire Coast.

Excavations at Street House have revealed evidence of human activity from the Neolithic (c. 3800 BCE) to the Roman era (71 CE), including domestic, industrial, and ceremonial activity, as well as, notably, the burial of an Anglo-Saxon princess.

Dr. Sherlock will also discuss his partnership with the DRAGEN Lab and the experiential learning opportunities for students offered over the past two years, including hands-on historical and archeological training in the United Kingdom.
