Public Archaeology Conference and CBA South
Unearthing the Past
Language, Ownership, Value and Meaning in Public Archaeology
Friday 24th (evening), Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th September 2010
University Centre Folkestone
Canterbury Christ Church University and the Council for British Archaeology South East are hosting a three day conference on Public Archaeology at the University’s campus in Folkestone. The event will also include the CBA South East Annual General Meeting and will provide an introduction to ‘A Town Unearthed: Folkestone before 1500’; the new HLF-funded community archaeology project for Folkestone.
The conference will explore a range of subjects concerning public and community archaeology, and ways in which people imagine, define, value and use the past. Examples of innovative community-based archaeological projects from across the country will be presented and the conference will also feature a range of panels, workshops and stalls.
The conference will include a chance to visit Folkestone Roman villa, being excavated as part of ‘A Town Unearthed’. This will be the first chance to see this important, scheduled, site exposed since 1989 and will provide an example of community archaeology in action.
