East Riding Archaeological Society

The conference will take place on Saturday 6 April 2019 between 10 am – 4.30. It has been inspired by Tony Pacitto (1931- 2003) – archaeologist, photographer, air photographer, excavator, geophysicist & metal detectorist.

The 2018 Conference will be held at The Guildhall in Hull, the 2017 UK City of Culture, on 14-16 September, 2018. The conference will address the themes of war and commemoration in churches and churchyards, not only taking into account the centenary of the end of the Great War, but also considering the implications of war and memorials throughout the medieval and early modern periods. We will also focus on ecclesiastical expressions of conquest and remembrance of the dead.

There are still a couple of complimentary places available on the Elmswell Farm dig run by DigVentures 14 to 17 August. For more details or to book a place please contact Angela at angela@dollydimple.karoo.co.uk or comment below before Thursday 26 July. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. We are also hoping to conduct a resistivity survey in front of the manor house in an attempt to secure the location of the former tithe barn. This will take place on 18 and 19 August. Any members wanting to come and lend us a hand - or just come and learn some new skills - are more than welcome to come along
