CBA South-East 2018 AGM and Annual Conference:
Structured Deposits: definitions, developments and debates
Chertsey Hall, Surrey: Saturday 10th November 2018
Since its origins some thirty odd years ago, our understanding of the concept of ‘structured deposition’ has developed substantially – debates surround not only terminology and definitions, but applications in its use, resulting in a perceived tendency for over-utilization and ‘ritual’ interpretations in analysis. With recognition of such deposits ever-growing through the work of commercial units and the PAS, the contributions of critical and systematic academic attention are increasingly apparent. This day conference brings together research from the prehistoric to the medieval period, revealing new discoveries being made in southern England – and beyond – and the fascinating insights emerging from projects focussed on the processes of deposition.
