The week will include:
• Lectures on a variety of topics, previous years have included sessions on computational archaeology, palaeolithic stone tools, and the ancient Egyptian language.

• You would like to find out more about how archaeological research is conducted.
• You are interested in language, science, history, culture and how these themes are brought together.
