Rampion Archaeological Event June 12

The archaeological work involved with the development and construction of the wind farm has uncovered a number of finds that will enable a greater knowledge and understanding of the local past.

Marine surveys uncovered an aircraft propeller, anchors and maritime and aviation wrecks and revealed submerged paleolandscapes. Land-based work found evidence of human activity from hunter-gatherers after the last Ice Age through to post medieval-modern agricultural techniques.

There will be speakers from Rampion, RSK, Wessex Archaeology and Archaeology South-East – and the event will be free to all.

After the presentations there will be refreshments and a chance to see some of the finds and talk to project archaeologists.
