> Emne: Preservation of Archaeological Remains In Situ Conference
> 
> CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR PAPERS
> 
> 2nd Conference on
> Preserving Archaeological Remains in Situ (PARIS2)
> 
> September 12th - 14th 2001, in London
> Organised by English Heritage, the Museum of London Archaeology Service
> and the University of Bradford
> 
> The first PARIS conference in 1996 examined physical, chemical and
> biological aspects of the burial environment, and sought methods of
> minimising change and effects on buried archaeological remains, and
> the published Proceedings are now an important reference work. The
> conference is founded on the need for balanced decisions about
> protecting our cultural heritage in the context of sustainable
> development, and the consequent  need to understand the complex and
> variable condition of buried archaeological remains.
> 
> PARIS2 will review the new research of the last 5 years and,
> importantly, will aim to identify priorities and strategies for
> future research and policy. This is a conference for curatorial and
> contracting archaeologists, soils scientists, conservators,
> hydrologists,
> engineers, planners and construction professionals.
> 
> Papers are invited against the following questions:
> 
> 1. What new research and new observations have there been (in the last
> 5 years) into the processes of change and decay in archaeological
> remains? How well therefore do we now understand the burial environment
> or the remains we are monitoring? (This section will address the
> terrestrial, coastal and marine archaeological resource, and take
> account of factors which threaten archaeological stability, for example
> climate change, acid rain and coastal erosion).
> 
> 2. What have we learned about technique and good practice in mitigation,
> 
> reburial and monitoring? Does recent work or new research inform our
> abilities to recognise significant change factors, or identify marker
> materials?
> 
> 3. How desirable have recent approaches, or recent preservation and
> mitigation decisions, been in the context of sustainable development,
> returning value to the local community, and evolving tourism and
> heritage policies? What guidance can we give, therefore, to future
> research and planning strategies? (This section will consider such
> issues as contaminated land, brown-field and urban regeneration, local
> and international tourism, countryside policy and the constraints that
> vary according to the affluence of an area).
> 
> The Proceedings of the conference will be published, and the language
> of the conference will be English. Proposals for papers, with abstracts
> of less than 100 words, should be sent to: PARIS2, Museum of London
> Archaeology Service, 87 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4AB
> (fax: 020-7410-2201; email: [log in to unmask]) by 15th January 2001.
