Event details

The Unravelling the Palaeolithic (UTP) conference is a student-led symposium that is aimed at bringing together human origins researchers and institutions from across the world. Historically, the conference has been held annually, with the location moving between the universities of Southampton, Liverpool, Oxford, Cambridge, Durham and York. This year we are delighted to be the hosts of this event!

Dr Steph Piper and Dr Andy Needham, who are leading the Organising Committee at York, said: "We, along with members of the organising team, are delighted to be hosting the conference at York this year and look forward to welcoming members of the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic research community to the city.

"The conference has a proud tradition of being welcoming to all, especially to those early in their careers, and we warmly invite your attendance and contribution."
