This is the first in a series of webinars to take place over this autumn and winter to present the initial results from the extensive archaeological excavations associated with the construction of the third generation of nuclear power station at Sizewell in Suffolk. This has provided unparalleled opportunities to examine the Suffolk coastal landscape which has been at the forefront of numerous continental migrations over the millennia. Excavations are also providing a rare chance to look at the agricultural estate associated with the first Leiston Abbey (1183-1363), vast tracts of which have been uncovered in the course of the excavations.  This first webinar presents an introduction to the work; the how, why and where of the archaeological project and overview of the results which will be examined in greater depth in future presentations. 

In advance of Sizewell C’s construction, Oxford Cotswold Archaeology has been working on one of the largest archaeological projects ever undertaken in the east of England, to uncover the millennia-long history of human occupation in the area.
