Her leadership in volunteer training, lithic analysis and public engagement continues to influence archaeological practice today.

No formal registration is required, but it would help if you could let David Ingham know at  cbaem@archaeologyuk.org if you're planning to attend, so that the organisers have an idea of numbers.
