Saturday was the Tay and Fife Archaeology Conference and as one does, I video recorded the talks. As I get the speakers permissions I will post them to this thread for people to watch. First up Derek Hall on the Archaeology of Sugar Production. Pretty handy stuff to know if you are doing historical archaeology. Has anyone else dug something similar?

I worked on an excavation in Southampton (Winkle Street 1985-86) where part of the site had been a sugar processing works in the post Reformation period. Not sure if the site was ever written up. Derek Hall could try checking with the Southampton unit if he is interested....I remember recovering a number of sugar cones...

Pit, Pot or Cist, WHY? So Mel really lays out the problem (the photographs are great) though I have yet to see any great explonation as to why different burial practices were used in the same cemetery, has anyone? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR0_C2Qf9Nw

Another two- one on 3D modelling and that goodness. One on what happens to the contents of churches when the church closes down.
