Post-Roman finds from the Chester Amphitheatre excavations and beyond

Please join us at the Grosvenor Museum in Chester for what promises to be a great weekend on May 9th-10th. Originally planned around two new exhibitions on discoveries at the nearby Amphitheatre site between 2004 and 2006, the meeting has expanded to include finds from the Welsh Borders and the West.
