Future Directions for the Archaeological
Study of post-1550 Britain and Ireland.
April 2008, Leicester
The conference aims to bring together representatives from the Society for Post Medieval Archaeology, the Association for Industrial Archaeology, the Contemporary Historical Archaeology and Theory list, the Irish Post-Medieval Archaeology Group, and the Industrial Heritage Association of Ireland to consider the commonalties between approaches as well as the unique contributions made by members of each organisation towards the study of the material heritage of the post-1550 period. Through this discussion-focused conference, we hope to foster enhanced understanding and cooperation between the organisations and their approaches, with in-depth consideration of the future of the broader field of historical archaeology.

Exploring New World Transitions: From Seasonal Presence to Permanent
Settlement
St John’s, Newfoundland, June 14-20, 2010
This Conference will highlight early European exploitation of the New World, with a particular focus on Northeastern North America. The conference marks the 400th anniversary of the establishment of the Cupers Cove Plantation in Newfoundland by Bristol merchant John Guy - the first English colony in what is now Canada. The theme of New World Transitions, with its emphasis on the historical shift from seasonal to permanent occupation, will include Native contacts, the role of fisheries, the development of colonies in the early 17th century, coastal and maritime archaeology, as well as material culture studies relevant to this period.
The Conference is being jointly organized by Memorial University of Newfoundland, Bournemouth University and the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology. For information please contact: Mark Brisbane or Peter Pope |
