Online Archaeological Discussion Evenings
Since the COVID19 lockdown came into force we have been unable to meet in person. As a result we began a series of online Archaeological meetings using the Zoom platform. Speakers make a short presentation on a subject of interest to them followed by a Q and A session. Upcoming meetings can be found on the What's On page, or below.
Most of the events have been recorded, so that you can watch them again. The links to
the Zoom or YouTube website are shown below. Guidance on how to use Zoom can be found here. Note that the Q&A part of the evening is not part of these recordings. Should you specifically want to watch that part, please contact roland.spencerjones@gmail.com.
