Conference in memory of Paul Courtney

Saturday 18th October 2014

University of Leicester

Jointly organised by the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology
and the Finds Research Group, with Yolanda Courtney

Saturday 18th October 2014 will see a conference at the University of Leicester in memory of Paul Courtney, long-standing member of the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology and the Finds Research Group, and former editor of the SPMA’s journal ‘Post-Medieval Archaeology’.

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.

The conference programme and booking information can be found on the SPMA's website: http://www.spma.org.uk/events/paul-courtney-memorial-conference/ and we look forward to seeing you at the University of Leicester in October.
