Conference details

This meeting is aimed at a wide variety of contributors, from historical and archaeological metallurgists to excavators, historians and economists. If you are working, or have just finished working, on a project related to archaeological or historical metallurgy, we would like to hear from you.

We are particularly interested in bringing together contract and public sector archaeologists with academic researchers, and in fostering links between the different disciplines studying metallurgy and related activities.

Whether you are a graduate student, an archaeometallurgical expert, an interested non-specialist or a professional excavator, we invite you to meet others working in this field and present your research to an interested community.

Proposals for 10-15 minute oral papers are welcomed from anyone undertaking work in any area of historical metallurgy/archaeometallurgy, and from other researchers whose focus is of relevance to this subject. Download the call for papers poster (pdf).

Titles and 400 word abstracts should reach the organisers at hms.rip2010@gmail.com by Monday 27th September 2010.

The cost for members of the Historical Metallurgy Society will be £18, non-member £20. Cost includes lunch and coffee. Registration is requested by Friday 5th November 2010 as places are limited. Download the registration document (word).

This meeting is being organised by Ruth Fillery-Travis and Miljana Radivojevic, UCL Institute of Archaeology, 31-34 Gordon Square, London, WC1H 0PY.
