About Karen Adams

Hi I grew up in York and became very interested in the 2000 history of this city. I then became an archaeologist, working in the city and surrounding area, allowing me to make some wonderful discoveries which has added to the understanding of how people lived (and died) in various different historical periods within the Yorkshire and Humberside area.

If you are looking for a talk about York's vast history, interested in archaeology. Please see the talks listed here.
