*apologies for cross-posting* Second VERA Winter Workshop Wednesday 3rd December 2008 "Digital field recording and publication in archaeology" The VERA project invites you to a workshop entitled "Digital field recording and publication in archaeology" to be held in the Archaeology Department of the University of Reading on Wednesday the 3rd of December 2008. The JISC funded Virtual Research Environment for Archaeology (VERA) project (http://vera.rdg.ac.uk) plans to create a suitable Web portal that provides enhanced tools to efficiently document archaeological excavation and its associated finds for the user community. VERA aims to develop utilities that help encapsulate the working practices of current research archaeologists unfamiliar with virtual research environments. The aim of this second workshop is to show what the project has achieved so far, having now had two seasons of excavation at Silchester to test the development of the system, and to discuss more broadly the future of Virtual Research Environments and Archaeology. The day will begin at 11am with talks finishing at around 4:30pm. More details, including a timetable and directions to the university, can be found on the VERA website at: http://vera.rdg.ac.uk/events/winter_workshop_2.php Places are limited and priority will be given to all current IADB users, but there will also be places for other archaeologists interested in the VERA project, so please get in touch by the 26th November if you are interested! I look forward to hearing from you.
