Thame Meadows is an area of land off Oxford Road that, in 2015, became the site of a major archaeological excavation. The dig, undertaken by Oxford Cotswold Archaeology, revealed artefacts and evidence of continuous settlement from the Early Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman and Early Medieval (Anglo Saxon) periods, ranging across 6,000 years.

This illustrated talk is being given by Chris Ellis, Senior Project Officer at Oxford Cotswold Archaeology, who co-directed the excavations. Chris will explain why Thame Meadows was an important site, talk about findings from each era, and describe how it is thought people lived in those times.

Due to the popularity of this talk, in-person tickets are now sold out. However, tickets to watch the talk online have now been made available and can be booked on the Thame Theatre website.

This talk complements an exhibition being held at Thame Museum from 18th April.


Location: The Players Theatre, Nelson Street, OX9 2DP

Tickets (online): £10, book on the Thame Theatre website.
