Conference – Chichester – Fri 3rd – Sun 5th July 2009
The 2009 SGRP conference will take
place on the weekend of July Fri 3rd- Sun 5th in
Chichester, West Sussex. We will be staying at the University College
Chichester, Bishop Otter Campus. Lectures will be held in a large
modern room on the same campus. The venue is within walking distance
from the centre of historic Chichester. The conference will open at
2.00 pm on Friday to and close at 1.00pm on Sunday.
All are invited to attend the conference including non-SGRP members
(although encouragement to join the group may be applied during the
weekend!) Non-residential and day attendance is also possible. All
those involved in the archaeology of Chichester, West Sussex and the
study of Roman pottery are welcome and are encouraged to offer short
talks on your work and research in the area.
Anyone wishing to offer a paper, display pottery or bring
a poster display of recent research is encouraged to contact the
conference organisers. Equally requests to see particular assemblages
from the Fishbourne Palace and Chichester archives are welcome.
