An online lecture series had been organised by ISAP member Kris Lockyear (noviodunum@hotmail.com).

The format was:

• Meetings with either
  • one long (ca. 45 min) presentation (plus questions), or
  • two medium (20-25 minute) presentations (plus questions), or
  • a series of quick-fire presentations.  These would be either
    • “look what I found” with some nice results, or
    • “the problem of equifinality” or “when things went wrong”. This would be intended to be an entertaining expose of those forehead-slapping moments we have all been involved in.
• The meetings are held at early evening time for the UK (approximately 6.30pm) so that the times would also work in Continental Europe and in the Americas.
• Tickets are free but need to be booked via Eventbrite.
• The meetings are hosted using the Combined Hertfordshire Archaeological Societies’  Virtual Seminar account.
• The talks are advertised widely using Social Media and are also open to non-ISAP members.
• The meetings are relatively informal, and no extended abstract etc. are needed (or provided).

If you would like to offer a talk, please send an email to noviodunum@hotmail.com with (a) a title (b) selection of duration (see above) and (c) how soon you would be prepared to present.
