The Public Archaeology of Frontiers and Borderlands, March 2019

The Public Archaeology of Frontiers and Borderlands conference, took place on 20th March 2019 at the Grosvenor Museum, Chester. I want to here report on its success.

The 4th University of Chester Archaeology Student Conference was a superb event attended by 48 delegates. There were 8 student presentations exploring a range of aspects of frontiers and borderlands past and  present, delivered by between 1 and 3 students each. Furthermore, there were 3 excellent special guest lectures by Dr Penelope Foreman, Prof. Keith Ray and John G. Swogger. Details of the conference programme can be downloaded here: PAFB Programme. 

Meanwhile, I’ve created a Twitter Moment with images and responses to the day: The PAFB Conference Twitter Moment.
