1st CALL FOR PAPERS

Historical Metallurgy Society (HMS) Research in Progress 2012 -
Tuesday 6th November - Research Beehive Room 2.21 - Newcastle
University

This meeting is aimed at a wide variety of contributors both in the UK
and internationally, from historical and archaeological metallurgists
to excavators, historians and economists. If you are working, or have
just finished working, on a project related to archaeological or
historical metallurgy, we would like to hear from you. We are
particularly interested in bringing together contract and public
sector archaeologists with academic researchers, and in fostering
links between the different disciplines studying metallurgy and
related activities. We would also like to encourage international
co-operation on archaeometallurgical research and encourage
contributions from researchers globally. Whether you are a graduate
student, an archaeometallurgical expert, an interested non-specialist
or a professional excavator, we invite you to meet others working in
this field and present your research to an interested community.

Proposals for 10-15 minute oral papers are welcomed from anyone
undertaking work in any area of historical
metallurgy/archaeometallurgy, and from other researchers whose focus
is of relevance to this subject. The Historical Metallurgy Society is
also holding its annual Best Student Research prize at the conference
this year and we ask all students submitting proposals who wish to be
considered for the prize to indicate this when submitting their
abstract.

Titles and 300 word abstracts should reach the organisers at
hms.rip2012@gmail.com by Monday 17th September 2012.

This year we are hoping not to have to charge for attendance of the
conference but will not be able to confirm this until mid-August.  If
it does become necessary to charge the cost will be £15 for HMS
members and £20 for non-members and will include coffee and lunch.
