#TAGSoton (the Theoretical Archaeology Group conference) has just finished and included a session looking back at 50 years of Archaeology at the University of Southampton.

Following this event we have 159 people registered on Eventbrite and with some people who have emailed us, we must now be approaching 200 ‘registrations of interest’ in attending our 50th Anniversary event.

Merry Xmas to everyone and all our best wishes for the New Year!

Regards. The Archaeology 50th Anniversary organising committee.

Just sent the ‘save the date’ email to ex- and retired members of staff, of which we have 54 where we have an email address; this is not information held by the Alumni office, so has involved some detective work (sometimes as simple as one Google search…).

Was sent today (using MailChimp and Eventbrite); postal invitations, for those alumni where we do not have an email address, will start going out tomorrow.

This year the Theoretical Archaeology Group conference will be hosted by the University of Southampton (19th – 21st December 2016) and as part of this event there will be a ‘Personal Histories‘ session looking back at 50 years of Archaeology at the University.
