Lys will be known to many of you as someone who has contributed deeply to archaeology in Sussex, and as a professional widely respected for her archaeological technical illustration, teaching at the UCL Institute of Archaeology and for her role in fieldwork projects in the UK and the West Indies.

To the Society she will be remembered as a committed Trustee who served on Council for the maximum nine-year term and in recognition of which, she was awarded Life Membership of the Society at our last AGM.

Lys contributed fully to other aspects of the Society: serving on the Editorial Board, providing expertise in curation and exhibition projects, running workshops for the staff and public as well as carrying out important scientific research into our ceramic collections.

We will remember Lys as someone who worked tirelessly to help steer the Society through difficult times, who advocated passionately for the curatorial role the Society plays and as someone who valued and demanded integrity and fair play in archaeological life.

We are shocked and saddened at the loss of Lys and extend our deep condolences to her sons, Joe, Abel and Dan and to the wider family. In the months ahead the Society will consider with the family, appropriate ways to honour the memory of Lys and her contribution to archaeology and the Society.

A funeral service will take place at 2pm on Friday April 28^th at Wealden Crematorium, Horam Road, Horam, TN21 OFX.
