Keynote Address by Professor David Hinton
by Scott Tucker
We have just received the abstract from this year’s keynote speaker, Professor David Hinton, entitled:
A History Boy, 40 Years on
Forty at Southampton, 50 altogether … and no qualifications. The adage that if you remember the 1960s you weren’t part of them does not apply to archaeologists for whom they were the heady days of the rescue movement, unworried by RAE, REF, QAA, PPR, PPG, NPPF and the rest, with jobs in new university departments and new archaeological units, expanding central and local government, and even museums blowing out the cobwebs rather than the curators.
