Spot dating & phasing
How do we phase our matrices? Matrices form the backbone of an archaeological excavation and when combined with specialist analysis can be phased by period. This makes it possible to analyse how a site has changed over time, both in terms of use and development. In this session, we’ll cover an introduction to using specialist evidence to determine a site’s chronology.
Event details:
- Attendees should come dressed in appropriate clothing for outdoor activities.
- Although there is a café on-site, attendees may wish to bring a packed lunch.
