A mix of past and present postgraduate students from the Department of Classical & Archaeological Studies are presenting their research at the Royal Archaeological Institute (RAI) in London today, 11 April 2018.
Each year, the RAI aims to highlight the work of Early Career Research Archaeologists from a chosen university: the Department of Classical & Archaeological Studies was chosen for this distinction this year.
Andrew Bates, who is a PhD student researching a project entitled ‘Iron Age Hill Forts of Kent’ under the supervision of Dr Steve Willis, will be presenting a talk entitled ‘New Survey and Investigations at Bigbury hillfort, Kent’.
Caroline Farquhar, who completed an MA in Archaeology in the Department, will be presenting a talk entitled ‘Religious and Ritual Aspects of the Communities at the Head of the Darent Valley, Kent, in the Roman Period: The Value of New Investigative Techniques’.
Philip Smither, a PhD student who is researching a project entitled ‘Army Communities at Roman Richborough: An Analysis of the Roman Military Assemblage’ under the supervision of Dr Ellen Swift, will be presenting a talk entitled ‘Reassessing Richborough’.
