Digging Lincoln

Mick Jones will discuss why he decided to write this memoir, how he went about it and which sources he relied on. Digging Lincoln is his own personal account of how a record of the City of Lincoln's rich archaeology was recovered from the time of the early antiquaries through to the commercially funded professional teams of today. Drawing on aspects of his new publication, Digging Lincoln, the author will recount his background and initiation into archaeology and describe how the archaeological team for the city of Lincoln operated over the next few decades. He will describe this exhilarating time, full of important archaeological discoveries, and demonstrate how appreciation of the importance of Lincoln’s archaeological story and its public presentation have grown remarkably, such that it has now become a major heritage destination
