Dr Henry Clarke is in Portugal this week revisiting the site of Tongobriga. Today he was invited to give a paper on local identity, connectivity and culture change at Tongobriga in the context of the Durius Valley at an event celebrating 45 years since excavations began there
Had the best day at Tongobriga! Fascinating and funny stories about excavations there in the 80s, a brilliant Roman themed lunch, my paper on Tongobriga in context in the Durius Valley was well received, some musical interpretations and stimulating conversations
