Department of Archaeology

 

The Pitt-Rivers Archaeological Science Seminars are well-established as a relatively informal and highly dynamic meeting point for archaeological scientists of all kinds who share their research as it happens – often, before it has made it to publications. Our speakers include researchers based in or around Cambridge as well as visitors from around the world.

The 2023/24 organisers are Dr Kate Klesner (ck645), Rosie Crawford (rrc31), and Frijda Schmidt (afs42)

Location: McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research Seminar Room

Time: Fridays during term-time, 13:15-14:00

Future events will be announced here
