2015 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the very first TRAC conference, and TRAC 2015 will be held at the School of Archaeology & Ancient History, University of Leicester from 27 to 29 March 2015.

We would like to thank both the Roman Finds Group and the Association for Environmental Archaeology for sponsoring sessions at this year’s conference.
