The Department of Archaeology runs a diverse and lively events programme that reflects the many-faceted subject.  Termly Seminar Series and Discussion Groups (link to Seminar Series) see visiting and local scholars delivering thought-provoking lectures on a daily basis.  Enhancing these, the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research aims to provide a shared intellectual home for archaeologists at Cambridge with eminent, international speakers delivering the McDonald Annual Lecture as well as hosting multiple conferences and workshops throughout the year.
