Archaeology Seminar series (2011-2012)
The long established Archaeology Seminar Series is organised by postgraduates from within Archaeology at Edinburgh to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and the promotion of new research and debate among the research community both within and outwith the University.
We also encourage you to come along to other archaeology related meetings held in the department such as the First Millennium Group on the first Tuesday of each month in the Meadows Lecture Theatre.
These seminars are open to all and debate traditionally continues informally at local Edinburgh Public Houses! This year's seminar series is organised by Dawn Gooney and Doug Rocks-Macqueen.
Our seminars will normally be held on Thursdays at 5.30pm in Room G16 (through Doorway 4 at Teviot Place) but please take note of the dates, times and locations of other meetings.
