FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
Metallurgy a touchstone for cross-cultural interaction
28th - 30th April, 2005
A conference to celebrate Paul Craddock¹s contributions to the study of
metal through the ages
Dr Paul Craddock leaves the British Museum in 2005, after nearly forty years
of research into the history of metallurgy. An international conference is
to be held at the British Museum 28-30th April 2005 to celebrate his work.
The conference will reflect the breadth of Paul¹s research into early
technology and aims to examine the Œwhy¹ as well as the Œhow¹ of the
exploitation and use of metals. In particular it will address the transfer
of technologies between cultures across time and space, innovation and
also interactions between metalworking and other material technologies - all
with reference to archaeological/historical contexts. There will be no
parallel sessions, but the poster session will allow maximum participation.
We look forward to welcoming you to the conference and hope that many of
those who have known and worked with Paul over the years, as well as those
who know him only from his publications, will contribute. It is proposed to
publish selected papers in a fully refereed volume.
Abstracts of 200-400 words should be submitted by August 31st, 2004 to
[log in to unmask] Please give the title followed by the
author¹s name and title, affiliation, full postal address and email address.
Advisory committee:
Michael Cowell, Alessandra Giumlia-Mair, Peter Northover, Thilo Rehren,
Michael Wayman.
Organising committee:
