Hello list members,

Apologies for cross-posting.

The 13th Annual Conference of the Contemporary and Historical Archaeology in Theory (CHAT) Group will be hosted by the University of Sheffield.

'Together' is inspired by Richard Sennett's book of the same name, in which he examines the sociology of co-operation, and specifically the skills of living and working together. The range and quality of submissions has been excellent, and we're planning some really interesting evening events to complement the speakers.

Registration is now open and the site can be accessed directly here: https://onlineshop.shef.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&modid=2&deptid=5&catid=7&prodid=430

Alternatively, our website at http://chat2015.org has been updated with the link and a provisional programme. There are also links for general information about visiting Sheffield, and we plan to add more shortly.

As always, we have tried to keep the registration costs as low as possible to ensure the broadest possible participation. This year, the waged rate is £45, whilst the student/unwaged rate is £30. A limited number of fee waiver bursaries are available for student/unwaged participants that are unable to access alternative sources of funding.

If you would like to apply for a bursary, please submit the following form to [log in to unmask] by Friday 11th September. Applicants will be informed of the outcome by 16th September:

Finally, we've produced a poster for advertising the conference around the various institutions. Please help us spread the word!
