Rhind Lectures 2018: Publications Special Collection

7th June 2018 | Categories: Lecture, Publications, Up and coming events

The prestigious annual Rhind lectures will take place from 22 June to 24 June 2018. This year, John Barber will be lecturing on ‘Drystone technologies: Neolithic tensions and Iron Age compressions’.

One of the highlights of the Society calendar, we have decided to mark this year’s event with a collection of our favourite related books and articles from across the years. You might even spot one by our lecturer!
