I am pleased to announce the call for papers for the Historical Metallurgy Society Research in Progress Meeting Tuesday the 29th November, 2016 to be held in the Department of Metallurgy and Materials, University of Birmingham 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 student, a researcher, 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 ancient, historical, or industrial metallurgy, and from other researchers whose focus is of relevance to this subject. Please send your abstract to [log in to unmask] by the 13th of July. The HMS prize for the Best Student Research is offered for the best presentation by a student (or recent graduate within 12 months of graduation) at the annual Research in Progress meeting as chosen by those members of HMS Council present at the meeting. So if you are a eligible please indicate when you submit your abstract. NEW for 2016. In addition to the prize The Historical Metallurgy Society is offering a small number of travel bursaries for students presenting papers. If you are a student and would like to be considered please indicate with your submission. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus If you need to leave the list, send the following message to [log in to unmask] - leave mining-history ---------
