I received two copies of this announcement in my mail tonight, each
having 3 attachments totalling over 1 Megabyte. Between them they took
about half an hour to download on a connection for which I am charged by
the second!! I do not find this at all amusing! If you wish to
transmit large files might I suggest that you employ some basic
netiquette and make them available on a website so that only those who
actually want to read them have to download them.

>Freiberg, November 18th- 20th 1999
>
>Almost fifty years ago, at the Württembergisches Landesmuseum in Stuttgart,
>a comprehensive program of metal analyses comprising samples of all over
>Europe and the Near East was initiated by Siegfried Junghans under the
>title "Studien zu den Anfängen der Metallurgie (SAM)". It significantly
>increased our knowledge of early metal com-positions and usage. Although
>the project was often criticized, many other studies followed along similar
>lines applying new analytical techniques. Therefore, large numbers of data
>are continuously being produced so that it is becoming difficult to keep an
>overall view.
>
>In this seminar we will try to obtain a comprehensive overview of the
>beginnings and the development of metallurgy in the Old World. On this
>occasion, experts for various geographic regions will cover the find
>situation and point out new developments. Several programmatic lectures
>concerning the future approach to data analysis and storage, including
>those of the SAM project archive, will be presented. New analytical
>possibilities and their optimal application will be discussed.
>
>The euroseminar is aiming to provide the state of the art of
>archeometallurgy in the Old World and give an outline of future research.
