ANNUAL WEEKEND CONFERENCE 2002
The 2002 conference (including A.G.M) was held at King Alfred’s
University College, Winchester, from Friday April 5th (lunch-time)
until Sunday April 7th (lunch-time)
The venue
King Alfred’s University College is located in the
historic city of Winchester. We will be staying on-campus in Alwyn Hall East.
The accommodation comprises single rooms each with a washbasin. Toilets,
showers and a kitchenette are shared between five rooms. The College is small,
so it is only a few minutes walk between halls, dining room and meeting rooms.
Numbers are restricted so accommodation will be allocated on a first come
basis, although there are also a number of B&B’s nearby. Parking is
available on-campus with permits issued by the College at registration.
We were given a large meeting room for our lectures and a second, smaller
lockable room, for members to display pottery. There is also room for poster
displays for anyone wishing to present work in-progress etc.
The conference theme.
There was a small number of papers with a local emphasis. Other papers offered
included: The Eruption of Vesuvius and its implications for
Roman Pottery Studies (Dave Williams), Claudian Pottery from
Richborough (Malcolm Lyne), Early Hadham Wares (Andy Fawcett),
New evidence for Derbyshire Ware (Scott Martin), Indo-Roman Trade (Roberta
Tomber), Approaching our predecessors: ways of looking at the history of
Romano-British Pottery Studies (Colin Wallace). An evening lecture was
given by Gary Momber of the Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime
Archaeology.
Additional short papers would still be welcome.
Events.
A wine reception was held on Friday evening at Winchester Museum. On
Saturday afternoon. Graham Scobie, of Winchester Museum Service gave a
tour of ‘Roman’ Winchester. This was followed by a short talk by Helen
Rees and an opportunity to view a range of material from excavations in
Winchester.
Getting there.
Winchester is approximately 60 minutes form London by road and by rail
(Waterloo). The campus is c. 15 minute walk from the station and on a good bus
route. Maps with directions to the college will be sent out with confirmation
of bookings.
