19:30Graffiti has been around for as long as mankind has and the urge to leave a mark recording one’s presence can be seen from the earliest cave paintings. Probably the most common form of historic graffiti is a scratched/incised line (19th century Italian meaning ‘a scratch’) though many other forms are known. Graffiti is a common sight in many urban areas and ranges from contentious modern spray painting through to historic examples. Until recently most examples of historic graffiti had only been noticed in passing but with more interest developing in the subject there have now been some systematic studies of graffiti. This talk will cover the many forms graffiti can take and the diverse range of information that may be learned from it.
