Events

CVARF Symposium, June 2025

We held the second CVARF Symposium on Saturday the 7th of June 2025 at Lanark Memorial Hall in South Lanarkshire. This one-day symposium involved short talks and group discussions about the archaeology of the Clyde Valley region and the ongoing project to create the research framework.

CVARF Symposium, June 2024

The first CVARF gathering took place on the 7th and 8th June 2024 in Glasgow. This event involved short talks, group discussions and walking tours to showcase some of the exciting archaeology of the Clyde Valley region and highlight the key questions to address in the framework.

Survey reminder

The Framework will be co-created by the people and the communities of the Clyde Valley region and we need your help to do this. We want to know what archaeology you are interested in and what you think the research priorities should be for the area in the future. The CVARF team have created a short survey to assess the interests, projects and stories people in the region would like to see in the framework.

If you would like to contribute to the framework, please consider filling in the survey, which is available here.
