{"id":"vw845hg6","organisation":"zo47w8iu","title":"Symposium - Detecting the Past: Integrating Metal-Detecting & Archaeology","description":"

Join Trimontium Museum for our second symposium, exploring the evolving relationship between metal-detecting and archaeology.Once viewed as opposing approaches, professional archaeology and responsible metal-detecting now increasingly work together to reveal some of the most significant archaeological discoveries of recent decades. This symposium will explore best practice, successful collaborations, ongoing debates, and the role of ethical exploration in shaping our understanding of the past.
Hear from leading voices in the field, discover how metal-detecting has transformed archaeological research, and join conversations about the future of heritage discovery.

Full programme and ticket details will be announced soon.
