CHESHAM BSAC GET 'DIGGING FOR BRITAIN' FOR THE BBC
|
 |
AMATEUR divers from
Buckinghamshire played a vital
role in unravelling the mysteries
of Roman Britain. Chesham
branch of the British Sub-
Aqua Club (BSAC) have even
appeared on BBC2's flagship
history programme "Digging For
Britain" as they helped presenter
Dr Alice Roberts.
At the site of the Roman villas
near Hambleden – where one
villa yielded the mysterious find
of the bones of 97 babies – the
divers searched the Thames
for artefacts and hopefully
will be able to prove it was a
Roman quayside. Chesham,
a very active BSAC club with
around 30 members and has
been diving the River Thames
for around two years searching
for ancient artefacts to help
Buckinghamshire
Archaeological Society.
