In recent years the Roman Research Trust has supported a wide range of projects related to Romano-British archaeology. It has made awards to fieldwork projects including excavation and survey at Trimontium, military sites in Scotland, Roman Durnovaria and Durobrivae (Water Newton). It has supported post-excavation analysis of material from Stapleton Mead, Flexford, Elloughton (E. Yorks.), Druce Roman Villa and Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester) and projects to enhance cataloguing work on Romano-British pottery fabrics. It has made grants in support of publications including Greek and Roman medicine and Romano-British glass bangles. Additionally it has supported educational activities and digital media projects including a digital project based on the collections at Vindolanda, an experimental archaeology project on Roman cooking and outreach projects at the Grosvenor Museum and the Novium Museum.
