Renowned archaeology expert to give public lecture on Vikings

AN EXPERT on Viking archaeology and how it can best be preserved and presented is to speak at Waterford Institute of Technology on February 8.

Dr Richard A Hall’s lecture - The Viking Age City of York and the Newly-discovered Camp at Ainsbrook - is set to be a huge hit, given the massive interest in the Viking site at Woodstown in Waterford.

Earlier this month, the Save Viking Waterford Action Group welcomed the decision to exhibit objects found in the 2003 and 2004 digs at Woodstown in Waterford’s Museum of Treasures later this year.
