Hadrian's Wall Archaeology Forum.

The first Forum took place on the 20th June 2009 when some 85 persons took part in  what is hoped will be a series of annual day-conferences organised by the Archaeology Section of Durham County Council. 

The speakers at this, the 2009 Forum included:- Andrew Birley, Vindolanda Trust - Nick Hodgson, Tyne and Wear Museums Archaeology Dept. - Jacqui Huntley, English Heritage - Dr. Nigel Mills, Hadrian's Wall Heritage Ltd - Dr. Matthew Symonds, Independent Researcher and co-editor of the Hadrian's Wall Research Framework and  Tony Wilmott, English Heritage.

 The purpose of these annual forums is to bring the latest news of recent archaeological discoveries and research relating to Hadrian's Wall to a wider public. 

The information will not be confined to Hadrian's Wall but will also include the immediate hinterland and the Cumbrian Coast defences.

The next Forum will take place on Saturday 19th June 2010.  

The programme for the forum will again consist of seven or eight talks designed to appeal to anyone with an interest in "Wall Studies" as well as the professionals.

A provisional programme will be posted when it is available.

The forum will again take place at the Queen's Hall, Hexham, Northumberland.
