Call for papers--new directions in archaeological science

UK Archaeological Science Conference
Session on New Directions
Oxford University April 2-5, 2003
Abstract Deadline is December 31, 2002

A session on new directions in archaeological science is currently
being organized. As part of this effort, we would like to include
several papers on the impact of conservation on the analysis of
archaeological material. We envision several papers that will
address what is either preserved or altered as a result of
conservation treatment. Also to be addressed is the use of
conservation examination techniques as strategic tools for
determining sampling locations, and for scouting areas appropriate
for non-destructive testing.

Abstracts (200-400 words) should be submitted electronically (MS
Word or Rich Text Format) by December 31, 2002 to
ukas2003 [at] rlaha__ox__ac__uk.

The abstracts should include the title, author(s) and affiliation(s)
(with email address of corresponding author). Please indicate
whether oral or poster presentation is preferred, and in which
session (ie Geoarchaeology, Human and animal lifeways, Technological
studies, Future directions in archaeological science or Site
specific archaeological science) you would like your paper included.

Slide, overhead and digital projectors will be available. Display
area for each poster presentation will be 1m x 2m (portrait).

The meeting will take place at St. Anne's College on the 2-5th of
April 2003. Further details can be obtained at

contact either Marc Walton <marc.walton [at] rlaha__ox__ac__uk> or Alistair
Pike <alistair.pike [at] rlaha__ox__ac__uk>.
