| description | The annual Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference (TRAC) took place from the 11th to the 15th of April 2018 alongside the biannual Roman Archaeology Conference (RAC) at the University of Edinburgh. As the title suggests, the underlying objective of this workshop was to re-examine the role of experimental archaeology in Roman studies: a consequence of the abundant yet often obscured nature of this archaeological and historical sub-discipline. Organised by Tatiana Ivleva (Newcastle University) and Chaired by Heather Hopkins, TRAC agreed that a more focused session was long overdue. As such it was decided that a workshop would be ideal, to promote both a focus on the methods and results of experiments in Roman studies, as well as further group discussions of the concerns of the field. And so it did! |
