Gordon Childe 2024 Seminar and Panel Discussion
Join us for an exciting event at the UCL Institute of Archaeology on Thursday, May 16, 2024 at 14:00.
The Gordon Childe Advanced Seminar 2024 will consider the notions and resonances of Professor Richard Bradley's Gordon Child Lecture:
Hidden valuables: hidden variables. Hoards and other deposits from the Mesolithic to modern times, which will be given the evening before at the Institute of Archaeology: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/archaeology/news-events/gordon-childe-lectures-ucl-institute-archaeology
This event provides a special opportunity to engage with Professor Bradley in the context of a panel-led discussion. Chaired by Professor Andrew Reynolds, the panel will comprise Professor Melanie Giles, Professor Mike Parker Pearson, Professor Mark Lake and Professor Andrew Gardner.
Professor Richard Bradley has written a number of books on prehistoric archaeology. His fieldwork has centred on prehistoric settlements, landscapes and monuments in England, Scotland, Spain and Scandinavia. These include studies of Cranborne Chase, the Neolithic axe quarries of Great Langdale (Cumbria), the stone circles of north-east Scotland, the Clava Cairns of northern Scotland, the megalithic art of Orkney, the prehistoric land boundaries of Salisbury Plain, and the Copper Age cave sanctuary of El Pedroso (northern Spain). He has conducted other field investigations of megalithic tombs in the west of Sweden, and a study of the siting of Bronze Age metalwork hoards in southern England, and has also investigated prehistoric rock art in Britain, Spain, Portugal, Sweden and Norway.
