A Pint of Archaeology

You are cordially invited to join archaeologists from La Trobe University for a series of short informal talks on their archaeological research – from palaeoscience and human evolution, to the historical roots of Colonial Victoria and Christchurch. Normally this annual event would be held in a cosy Melbourne pub, with a glass of something cold.  But, due to one thing and another, this year it's a digital Bring Your Own - but hopefully a few more of you will be able to make it as a result!

Our speakers and their papers are;

  • Jessie Garland "A Large and General Assortment": Shopping at London and Paris House, Christchurch.

  • Greg Hil ‘Going over old ground… Tracking and modelling landscape change through time with GIS’

  • Jesse Martin ‘Evidence for early human origins from Drimolen Cave South Africa’

  • Wenjing Yu ‘Where do we come from and WHEN? Combined US-ESR dating at the UNESCO Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site, South Africa’

  • Dr Katherine Thomas ‘Flying forecast for the future: UAVs and cutting edge archaeological practice’

Hosted by Dr Keir Strickland, and organised by the Department of Archaeology and History, La Trobe University. Download the flyer here.

When: from 8pm (Melbourne time / AEST), Friday 22 May 2020

Where: online, via zoom (details below). To attend, please register in advance for this webinar:
