We're delighted to share our 206-7 Lecture Programme with presentations on a range of topics: Neolithic cheese making, Roman plasterwork & hoards, fieldwork at Yeavering & Bodiam, graffiti at Royston, archaeology & nature recovery at the National Trust & 17th century papercuts from Sutton House

Was delighted to contribute with my fellow series editors to this piece on intersections between the Humanities disciplines and game studies in our series and more broadly, as part of a great collection!
