Paul passed away in May 2013, and this conference, held jointly by the Finds Research Group and the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology, in collaboration with Paul's widow Yolanda, will be a celebration of Paul’s many interests encompassing late medieval and historical archaeology, including his contribution to local history, finds research, ceramics studies and fortifications both here and abroad. There will be a chance at the end of the day for those attending to raise a glass in Paul’s memory.
