A Landscape Archaeology Project: The Roman Site at Rama (Ecrins, French Alps)

A 200m long trial excavation of a major Roman site adjacent to the Durance River in the Ecrins (Southern French Alps). The aim of this trial trench was to assess the results from air-photographic and geophysical survey data. This excavation thus allows us to place the archaeological site in its landscape context and consider its relationship with changes in the local river systems.
