Dear all,
The next PZG meeting will be on the 8th August at Historic England, Fort Cumberland, Portsmouth, UK. This meeting marks 10 years since the group was established.
PZG meetings are a chance for practitioners to get together in an informal capacity to discuss methods, to access additional reference material and to visit various laboratories and offices. Meetings are arranged around a theme, with the forthcoming meeting focused on the Roman period in Britain and a workshop on dogs. The meeting will be followed by excursions to some Roman sites in the local area on Sunday 9th. Our program can be found below.
