The positive news is rolling in this week. Prof. Pim Allison has just been invited to give a Distinguished Lecture at Stanford in 2021. Well done Pim!
Congratulations to Dr Rachel Crellin, who has been invited to give the prestigious RAI Curl Lecture in 2021. The last recipient of this illustrious award was no other than our own Dr Oliver Harris. Great to see the next generation of staff forging ahead in this way.
A fantastic weekend event created by an energetic collaboration of School staff, Leicester Creative Business Depot, Classics for All, Leicestershire Archaeological & Historical Society & Friends of the Jewry Wall Museum. Website goes live 11:30 am tomorrow morning.
Fantastic to finally announce this award in the School. An incredible achievement from a bright new talent joining the team in SAAH! 😀

First batch of students completing their seed identification test in the new archaeobotany course at Leicester. Wouldn’t be possible without the skills of Danielle De Carle.
Great Offer Holder Day today! Enjoyable talking to prospective students and watching staff and students deliver excellent practical sessions on cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence and pottery analysis and the literal cutting edges of the Roman army!
Really enjoyed visiting @ArchAncHistLeic and hearing about their exciting campus-based and distance-learning programmes. Fascinating discussions about discovery of Richard III, the history of materials, and Roman textiles (including me wearing a toga!).
The new storage and display units have been installed in the materials lab. Looking pretty sharp.
Take a tour of CO2 since 800 thousand years ago.
...and we're off! The official launch of our research in the Borneo highlands in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia.
