Twitter Conference - Breaking the mould - Trowelblazers

As part of this year’s Council for British Archaeology’s Festival of Archaeology, the Museum of Liverpool is excited to be hosting their 2022 Archaeology Twitter Conference; Breaking the Mould - Trowelblazers, #ArchMoL22. This year's theme is women and archaeology.

We will celebrate women who’ve worked in archaeology, and stories of women in the past which are uniquely revealed by archaeology. Women have been involved in archaeology in many ways and women’s stories can be revealed through a range of evidence. This conference aims to be inclusive of all approaches and interpretations.
