About Us Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference (TRAC) is an academic organisation and conference, designed to be an arena for open discussion of archaeological theory in Roman archaeology and as a platform to encourage innovation, collaboration and promote inclusive practice, within the UK and internationally.
