TRAC 2013

I missed the last two TRAC conferences, 2011 at Newcastle because of time limits, and 2012 at Frankfurt because I find it hard to justify the expense of too many international conferences. Fortunately I have managed to attend some of the University of Leicester's research seminars this term so I knew a lot of the 'new contingent'.as well as having the opportunity of meeting up with old friends and colleagues. I was very pleased that there so many sessions and papers on finds and material culture. Unfortunately there was a clash so I could not attend the economics session which would have been potentially of extreme relevance to my work, but that is always the case at conferences.
 -Our paper was in the general session of the last day. we have had some polite feedback, (and always welcome as much feed back as possible) the main question centered around the pattern emerging from the date distribution graphs  that show the sharp decline in pottery loss in the later 2nd. third century, but a contrasting rise in amphorae consumption in the 3rd century - which raises a whole series of intriguing questions which I will write about on another occasion
