Salisbury Museum’s annual Festival of Archaeology will be held on July 26 and 27. But as an opener to the proceedings, on Thursday, July 24 at 7.30pm at the Salisbury Methodist Church on St Edmund’s Church Street, Dr Turi King will give a talk titled ‘DNA Detective: Using DNA to Uncover the Secrets of our Past’. Tickets are priced at £15 and are available on Eventbrite via Salisbury Museum’s website.
Dr King is, of course, best known for using cutting-edge DNA technology to verify that the remains found beneath a Leicester car park were the lost remains of King Richard III.
