A flying visit QRA Leeds 2020 + nostalgic visit to old haunts. Thanks to the organisers. Great to catch Graeme T. Swindles Andy Baird after far too long! Great paper action @arch_sedaDNA Tom Hill + hoping Kimberley Davies is holding up!

Some great talks at this years QRA Leeds 2020 , but particular highlights were @richard_fewster’s PALSA talk, @arch_sedaDNA DNA and taphonomy talk, plus Matthew Jones’s PalaeoRAS project and his important statement on why defining the anthropocene to 1950 really needs more debate
