Research in Progress 2012 Call for Papers Tuesday 6th November Newcastle University Research Beehive, Room 2.21 http://www.hist-met.org/rip2012.html This meeting is aimed at a wide variety of contributors, 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. Please see the website (http://www.hist-met.org/rip2012.html) for more information on registration, accommodation and pricing. Titles and 300 word abstracts should reach the organisers at hms.rip2012@gmail.com by Monday 17th September 2012 Conference Organisers: Andrea Dolfini (andrea.dolfini@ncl.ac.uk) Michael Smith (m.c.smith1@ncl.ac.uk)
