Kirsty Norman, Principal Consultant at the Centre of Applied Archaeology, UCL, will talk about the hundreds of ‘Diaoliu’ in southern Guangdong, describing their history and future. ‘Diaoliu’ are flamboyant, western-influenced houses and towers built by émigrés in the 19th and early 20th centuries as protection against bandits. Four Diaoliu groups have been designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites.
