The Icon Archaeology Group will hold their annual AGM alongside a half day online conference, featuring talks from archaeological conservators of varied career stages on the theme of on-site lifting of archaeology. The theme compliments the much-anticipated newest edition of the First Aid for Finds handbook expected later this year, which will also be delivered as an online publication for the first time, and the conference will also feature dedicated short slots for flash presentations from early career and student conservators on a project or theme they have recently worked on.
A call for papers for both the main talks and the student/early careers flash presentation slots will be open until the 29th July and the Archaeology Group committee very much look forward to receiving your proposals.
