Call for posters

"Evidence: Accessing the Past: Evidence of Artefacts"
Artefacts Research Group Conference
Palace Green Library
Durham University
18-19 March 2016

Evidence from objects is central to archaeology, conservation and
museums: but how do we gather, understand and communicate this?
This conference draws together interdisciplinary approaches to
uncover and explore evidence from artefacts from a wide variety of
speakers. The presentations will be interspersed with mediated
roundtables to debate the evidence obtained through different
strategies, including technical analysis, aesthetic and intellectual
analysis, and examine how such evidence can be evaluated and
communicated.

The programme consists of short presentations arranged around the
following themes:

    Evidence Types: Analytical, Recovery Context, Cultural
    Associations

    Evidence and the Biography of Artefacts: Creation, Use and
    Abuse, Discarding and Recycling, Present Day Cultural Values

    Evidence and Degradation: Making Meaning from Damage and Decay

    Making and Communicating Meaning from Evidence

The conference is open to academics and students from Durham and
other universities and to members of the public.

This conference has been organised by the Artefacts Research Group,
Archaeology Department, Durham University as part of the Institute
of Advanced Studies 2016 'Evidence' theme.

Posters: Posters should address any of the four conference themes
above.  Use the poster to attract your audience for discussion, not
to present complex details of methods and results.  There will time
to look at the posters during the tea breaks so encouraged to be
near your poster then.

The format should be as follows:

    Maximum size A3 (420 mm x 594 mm)

    Orientation may be landscape or portrait

    The title of the poster and the names and contact details of all
    authors should appear at the top

Remember that people will typically be standing from three to six
feet away from your poster and all lettering should be easily
readable from that distance.
