Dear all,
Further to the announcement of the publication of 'Contemporary and Historical Archaeology in
Theory', Archaeopress have kindly offered to offer copies of the CHAT 2003-2004 volume at a
20% reduction to those attending the CHAT 2007 conference, for a limited period.
The cost of the volume (if ordered before 23 November) will therefore be £24 (rather than £30),
and postage will also be free for volumes that are collected directly from the conference.
So if you're attending CHAT 2007, and would like to take advantage of this offer, please email
[log in to unmask] and cc your message to [log in to unmask] so that we can pass your
details to Archaeopress.
best wishes,
Dan
