Focus falls on European archaeology exhibition at University of York’s historic King’s Manor

YORKSHIRE.- The University of York‘s historic King’s Manor is hosting a European photographic exhibition depicting the day-to-day work of archaeologists. The public exhibition Working in Archaeology, which runs from 9 January to 6 March, features photographs by Belgian photographer Pierre Buch and reflects the different and varied activities of modern archaeological practice. Brought to York by the Archaeology Data Service at the University’s Department of Archaeology, the exhibition opened at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris in November and will be shown across Europe this year. The photographic exhibition is part of an EU Culture Programme funded project – Archaeology in Contemporary Europe (ACE) – which aims to promote contemporary archaeology at a European wide level. The Archaeology Data Service at the University of York is the lead UK partner in ACE.
