[Archport] IARSS 28th-29th May 2009 - First Call for Papers

["João Fonte" <joaofonte@gmail.com>]

Dear friends and colleagues,

IARSS visits the seaside!

We are pleased to announce that the annual Iron Age Research Student Seminar (IARSS) will be held at Bournemouth University, 28th-29th May 2009.

The Iron Age Research Student Seminar is an ideal environment for post-graduate students to deliver papers on their research, be it in the early or later stages. Post-graduate students are encouraged to present and explore new ideas, ranging from the Late Bronze Age, Iron Age, to the early 1st century A.D. within Europe. For those attending, there will also be the opportunity to volunteer as hosts for future seminars!

                                                                                                                       FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS/POSTERS

Papers should be 15-20 minutes in length. Those wishing to give a paper are welcome to send an abstract of up to 300 words. Given the location this year, a session involving papers with coastal themes is particularly encouraged! Posters are also welcome. The cost will be £10 for students/unwaged and £20 for waged.  There has been a slight increase in cost, primarily to cover the university costs (including the buffet lunch).
Please find attached a poster if there are opportunities to display it this would be much appreciated. We would also be grateful if you forward this email on to anybody else that may have an interest in the seminar.  People from all corners of archaeology are encouraged to intend.

Both the abstracts and all other enquiries should be directed to:

Sarah-Jane Hathaway at: sjhathaway@bournemouth.ac.uk
Clare Randall at: crandall@bournemouth.ac.uk

Please visit the web page for registration and accommodation details (forms will be available late January 2009).
