Special Annual Lecture

Who better to give the annual lecture at our 40th AGM than Peter Marsden, the famed archeologist who excavated so many iconic sites in the City in the 1960s and '70s, and who also wrote the first article in the first issue of London Archaeologist in 1968.
Peter's lecture, entitled Hopes and Fears, reviews how the foundations for today's archaeologiy in the City were laid in those heady days when there was such a bonanza of sites, discoveries and research - from Billingsgate baths to the Blackfriars boat. All are welcome to attend the lecture, which is free and takes place at 7pm on Tuesday 19th May at the Institute of Archaeology, 31-34 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0PY, following a short AGM.
If you'd like to come to the wine reception at 6.30pm before the lecture, please contact the Secretary to RSVP.
