POSTGRADUATE CONFERENCE IN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY
SATURDAY 9TH OCTOBER 2010
THE CENTRE FOR HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY
UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER
Now an annual event, the conference will provide a lively and informal forum for the presentation and discussion of current postgraduate research in the archaeology of the last 500 years, and will highlight the strength and diversity of the discipline. PhD students will be provided with an opportunity to present their research and gain constructive feedback; academic and professional archaeologists are warmly invited to hear about current work within the field and to support new researchers.
Proposals for 20-minute papers are invited from current PhD students, from both British and international universities, who are researching any subject within the field of later historical archaeology (broadly from the 16th century to the present day). Posters on current or recently completed research projects will also be welcome.
Please send abstracts of no more than 300 words to Dr. Chris King ([log in to unmask]) by 20th June 2010.
Attendance at the conference will be free for all currently registered postgraduate students. The conference fee for waged delegates will be £10.00.
THE CENTRE FOR HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY at the University of Leicester is home to Britain's largest grouping of researchers specialising in historical archaeology, and aims to encourage and co-ordinate interdisciplinary research in the field of historical archaeology by building links with other departments in the UK and internationally, and supporting a range of research initiatives.
