The Tiber Valley Project: The Tiber and Rome through two millennia

In 1987 a new collaborative research project was initiated by the British S chool at Rome. This project draws on a variety of sources of archaeological information to explore the regional impact of the City of Rome throughout the period from 1000 BC to AD 1300. The project provides a common collabora tive research framework which brings together a range of archaeologists and historians working in various institutions. In this paper those involved i n different aspects of this new project outline their work and its overall objectives.
