Thanks for your support, Franc. We've worked hard to secure this discount for
CHAT delegates from Archaeopress, and as you suggest I guess that very many of
the diverse range of CHAT collaborators would agree that the group's
engagements in archaeology have a significant political dimension.
I'll look forward to seeing you at CHAT 07 in Sheffield, which is set to be
the group's most exciting meeting to date, and one that will take the CHAT
project in a number of new directions.
While I'll be standing down from the CHAT standing committee in
November, I'll be excited to see how CHAT develops at its 5th annual meeting and thereafter.
