Experimental Archaeology Conference

The Material Culture and Data Science research group are hosting an Experimental Archaeology Conference, to be held in the Lecture Theatre (G6) at the UCL Institute of Archaeology on Thursday 9th November 2006. The Conference will be free and open to all.

• Programme and abstracts [pdf file: 77 kB]

The aim of this Conference is to promote experimental archaeology as a valid academic approach for answering archaeological questions; one that can enhance our interpretations about the past in ways other methods cannot. Papers and posters are requested on research-led experimental archaeology in any relevant field e.g. taphonomy, pyro-technology, architecture. We particularly welcome contributors with a background in archaeological theory pertaining to experimental archaeology; whether for or against!

‘Experiential’ or ‘what-I-did-last-summer’ reports are discouraged as we hope to show how experimental archaeology can contribute meaningfully to the wider discipline.

Time is 20-25 min for presentation incl. discussion. Data projector, computer and overhead projectors are present. Individual laptops can be connected if preferred.
