This episode welcomes Simon Stevens, senior archaeologist and one of ASE’s longest serving team members (since 1992!). We talk about what has changed in development-led archaeology since he started at ASE, and especially what life is like out on site now in the time of COVID-19. We dig deeper into his research and experimental archaeology on iron smelting through the ages in the area known as the Weald, and chat about his outreach project in Stiances where schoolchildren get a taste of archaeology.
