Icon Archaeology Group AGM and half day online conference:
On site lifting of archaeology, 14th August 2024 1.30pm-5pm
The Icon Archaeology Group are pleased to welcome proposals from archaeological conservators of any career stage for talks of up to 30 minutes on any aspect of on-site lifting of archaeology, including case studies, wider projects, and approaches. Proposals for 10 minute slots are also welcomed, if you would like to share a short case study or technique. The theme will compliment 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.
Submiting your proposals
To submit a proposal for a main session talk on the theme of on-site lifting of archaeology, please send an abstract of up to 300 words to [email protected] by 29th July 2024 with the subject line AGM main session talk abstract, and specifying whether you would like a longer slot (up to 30 minutes) or a shorter slot (10 minutes).
