It's been a busy few months, but I was delighted to go to Belfast last week to speak Ulster Arc Soc about the buke on Viking Age Ireland. If you're interested you can watch it on catch up on youtube here: youtube.com/watch?v=jas4Wz…

I'll be in Dublin next weekend to speak to Institute of Archaeologists of Ireland (IAI) members. Much of my research is based on developer-led archaeological discoveries and I'm really looking forward to speaking about how we can interpret the data after it comes out of the ground.

Come to Leicester next September to hear all about medieval urban lives. Better yet, submit a paper to Professor Ben Jervis ([email protected]), by Friday 31st January 2025. ECRs working on urban archaeology and contributions from commercial archaeology particularly welcome.
