A new Roman mosaic at Butser Ancient Farm

This short film documents our third day at Butser Ancient Farm. The project was organised and led by Will Wootton (KCL), Giulia Vogrig, Gary Drostle and Tamara Froud. It involved the installation of a new mosaic in the replica Roman villa. Both villa and mosaic are based on the archaeological evidence from the excavations at Sparsholt.

Our thanks for the incredible support we received from the the team at Butser, in particular Trevor Creighton, Thérèse Kearns, Maureen Page and Simon Jay. We also very grateful to the students of King's College London and the London School of Mosaic without whom the project would not have been possible. They volunteered their time and made the project a huge success. They are Agnieszka Arcisz, Victoria Diggle, Sophie Foster, Jen French, Suzanne Garben, Rushabh Haria, Lucie Howitt, Bridget Kelly, Eniko Leanyvari, Joanna Lewis, Sophie Mack Smith, Ciara Meehan, Patricia Sergeant, Rada Stilianova, Gabriele Trinczek and Anne Tyson.

The film is by Thomas Wootton.
