Several speakers will be sharing their knowledge on subjects ranging from prehistoric caves and enclosures, medieval ecclesiastical remains, industrial archaeology, World War I practice trenches and the production of medieval floor and roof tiles.

Amongst the guest speakers will be Rick Petersen (UCLan archaeology course leader), Stephen Rowland (Oxford Archaeology North), Ian Miller (Oxford Archaeology North) and Nigel Neil (Neil Archaeological Services).
