Hey all,
I know it's been a loooong time since anything has been posted on the blog. No doubt we've all been busy. I would love to hear some updates and will provide some on myself as soon as Spring Break starts next week.
In the interim, I wanted to share some details about an upcoming experimental archaeology conference taking place in North Carolina (near Charlotte) October 14 – 16.
The call for papers was issued a few weeks ago and I probably will be going. Depends on travel costs, etc.
Here are a few more details:
Call For Papers and Posters for the 2nd Annual RE-ARC Conference:
Designing Experiments: Effective, Practical Applications for Meaningful Experimental Projects
Where: The Schiele Museum of Natural History, Gastonia, NC USA
When: October 14 – 16, 2011
RE-ARC is designed for anyone interested in the scientific application of reconstructive and experimental archaeology.
Deadline for submissions: August 30, 2011
Send paper titles, abstracts and full contact information to:
Attention: Mark Butler, 1110 McCrae Dr., Moncks Corner, SC 29461, USA.
Entries can also be emailed to: rearc@gmx.com
More information will soon be available at: http://www.rearc.us/
This may be out of many of your areas of interest, but it's a cause I still believe in and wanted to pass it along.
Another reason to push this conference is that I have been appointed to the editorial board of the journal Ethnoarchaeology and the journal is trying to establish a presence at the conference to attract submissions. For those of you unfamiliar with Ethnoarchaeology, I'd suggest you check it out and/or submit some stuff. There have been some great articles published recently and I'm excited to see it grow.
So, please feel free to pass these details on to friends and colleagues as you see fit. Good luck with the balance of the semester!
