Dr Gerry McDonnell is leaving the University of Bradford’s Division of Archaeological Science. The overall aim of this conference is to  celebrate the research carried out by Gerry McDonnell during his time at Bradford, and to wish him well for his future research. The first day, which is open to all, will focus on research carried out at Bradford University and beyond, bringing back many students and researchers associated with Gerry and Bradford.

Following this day the Historical Metallurgy Society will hold a Research in Progress Meeting. This is an opportunity for anyone to present the results from current historical metallurgy or archaeometallurgy research in progress, in a friendly and supportive environment.
