This meeting is aimed at a wide variety of contributors, from historical and ar-

chaeological 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 ar-

chaeologists 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 inter-

ested 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 re-

searchers 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 infor-

mation on registration, accommodation and pricing.

Titles and 300 word abstracts should reach the organisers at
