CAS Conferences
In accordance with our aim to provide access to local history, architecture and archaeology for local people, the CAS organises two Conferences each year open to all who wish to attend on payment of a small registration fee. The Autumn Conference and Exhibition generally focuses on recent archaeological work in Cambridgeshire and presents an unusual opportunity to discuss local archaeology with the archaeologists. The Spring Conference features speakers on a with interests broadly related to a specific topic; past themes have included Roman Cambridgeshire and 2000 Years of Fen and Upland: the Creation of the Cambridgeshire Landscape.
Summaries of the Spring 2005 conference presentations are available here as a pdf file
We regret that there are as yet no summaries of the Spring 2006 and Spring 2007 Conferences.
