Dr. Michael Dawson, Director of Archaeology at RPS (Archaeology), led a team of archaeologists from Oxford and Leicester Universities, Dr. Andrew Wilson and Dr. David Mattingly, professors of Roman archaeology, and determined the area was “the most extensive and most important underground Roman gold mine known anywhere.”
