This Defra funded project was a joint enterprise between the Regional Heritage Forum and °Climate East Midlands. Several participants complained about the heat in the room, but all that sweat generated a great deal of rich material thanks to expert facilitation and was carefully captured by organisers, the Council for British Archaeology.
