FRG Meetings

Our meetings - open to all but with preferential rates for members - are held regularly and include one-day events focusing on themes related to the identification and interpretation of small finds. With no regional bias, FRG meetings are made accessible to the widest membership and are held across Britain and Ireland and beyond. Venues have included Dublin, Durham, Edinburgh, the Isle of Man, Lincoln, Liverpool, London, Orkney and Perth; with our most recent gatherings in Plymouth, Devizes and at the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden. Our short trips to museums to view exhibitions have taken us to Paris, Nuremberg, the Netherlands and London and Glasgow.

We co-host meetings with other finds study groups and societies - such as the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology, the Roman Finds Group, the Portable Antiquities Scheme, Instrumentum and the Architectural and Archaeological Society of Durham and Northumberland - and with professional bodies, in order to widen our network and encourage information exchange. These have proved very popular and productive in the past. We hope to continue these collaborations and welcome suggestions from groups for future joint meetings and conferences.
