A very successful 40th Archaeology Forum was held on 2nd March, with 150 people attending. We were pleased to have the University's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Mark E. Smith, speak to the Forum on this auspicious occasion. Unfortunately Professor David Shotter was unable to join us on the day due to health issues - only the second time he has missed the Forum in its 40 years. Dr Sam Riches provided a substitute paper at short notice, and the updated synopses of the day reflect this change. Seven of the eight speakers are shown here:

Dr John Welshman (Lancaster University) also gave a paper at this event.
