16 Apr by Gaffney, Vince

Dr Simon Fitch travelled to Japan, as part of the SAFS, UKRI Future Leaders project, Life on the Edge" (https://lote.teamapp.com/) to discuss palaeolandscape research with Professor Kondo at the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN) in Kyoto.

Whilst there Simon presented the NIHU ORNHIA seminar entitled, Archaeology of the Continental Shelf: A global perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing Submerged Prehistory, to an international audience. He also had several meetings with heritage managers, including Dr Kojiro of the Agency for Culture Affairs from the Government of Japan, an expert on the protection of Japanese heritage. In addition to many meetings,

Despite the busy schedule, Simon and Prof. Kondo even found the time for a field trip to visit a 28,000 year old buried forest which had amazing preservation. Although hectic,, it was an exciting trip, and we would like to thank everyone at the RIHN and especially Prof. Kondo for his hard work to make it such a success !
