Competition

Well done to all entrants in our 2023 LSA CA Ancient Worlds Competition, generously sponsored and supported by the Classical Association, and congratulations to those with commendations, awards and to the four finalists! 

On Saturday 18 March, we hosted the Grand Final of the Competition at AKS Lytham in Lancashire and enjoyed four brilliant presentations in answer to this year’s question: the discovery of which ancient site or artefact interests you the most, and why?
