An archaeology day is set to return to Pembrokeshire this November.
The full-day event, hosted by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, offers a rare opportunity to delve into the region's archaeological discoveries.
Attendees can expect to hear from expert speakers who will share their groundbreaking work and insights into the area's hidden past.
This year's line-up includes Ken Murphy, who led the Dyfed Archaeological Trust until its recent merger with other regional trusts in Wales.
He will reflect on the trust's remarkable achievements over its near 50-year history.
Dr Rob Dinnis, a specialist in Palaeolithic archaeology, will also be present to share insights from his recent work at Wogan Cavern, Pembroke, an early prehistoric site of international significance.
Luke Jenkins, a field archaeologist and prehistorian with Heneb, will spotlight discoveries made during excavations ahead of the A40 improvements.
Professor George Nash, a specialist in prehistoric and contemporary art, will focus on the Trellyffaint Neolithic Burial Chamber, where research has revealed a much wider ritualised landscape dating back to around 3000 BCE.
Professor Mike Parker Pearson, a leading expert on British prehistory, will present the latest findings from the Stones of Stonehenge project, including new insights into the Preseli bluestones and recent excavations at Crosswell.
Tomos Jones, the National Park Authority’s archaeologist, will give a presentation on a volunteer monument monitoring scheme that has been safeguarding the county's archaeological sites since 2020.
Mr Jones said: "Archaeology Day has long been considered one of the highlights of the year, offering a remarkable opportunity for our community to connect with Pembrokeshire's rich heritage.
"With an incredible lineup of speakers, this event promises to be a true feast for anyone passionate about uncovering the fascinating stories of our past."
Archaeology Day 2024 will take place at Pembrokeshire College on Saturday, November 9, between 9.30am and 4.30pm.
Tickets are available at a cost of £25 per person, which includes lunch and refreshments.
