The West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service is holding its eleventh Annual Day School, returning to the Royal Armouries, Leeds, on Saturday 27th November, 2010.

 

 

The morning programme will bring delegates up to date with the results of recent archaeological work in West Yorkshire, both above and below ground as well as details of the work of the Portable Antiquities Scheme’s West & South Yorkshire’s Finds Liaison Officer.

 

The afternoon’s programme will focus on what archaeology can tell us about food and dining in Roman, Medieval and Post-Medieval eras. For the afternoon session we welcome guest speakers Hilary Cool and John Hudson, who will discuss the culinary delights of the Roman and Medieval periods and Annie Gray who will cover upper and middle class dining in the 18th and 19th centuries. Presentations will also be made by the Friends of Buck Wood, who will talking about their recent excavations and exciting discoveries at Buck Wood, near Idle in Bradford.
