Lecture
Kindred: Neanderthal Life, Love, Death and Art
Joint Leicestershire Fieldworkers lecture
Dr Rebecca Wragg Sykes

Lecture
Early China and Prehistoric Silk Routes
Global Pasts lecture
Prof. Li Zhang, Zhengzhou University, China
The Silk Routes were one of the most marvellous phenomena in Eurasian history. Over them flowed a huge number and variety of artefacts and customs between China and various parts of the vast Eurasian continent. There has recently been a growing number of striking archaeological discoveries which have demonstrated the existence of such long-distance interactions stretching back several millennia, even to the prehistoric period.
