A rather belated post this, but the session abstracts are now up for the Theoretical Archaeology Group conference at University of Southampton in December 2008. The deadline for papers is 1 September. It’s been at the back of my mind to highlight this for the past few weeks, though more important matters have intervened. Regular readers will know that I have attended this conference before and written a not very glowing report of the experience. I may well drop in this year, as it is not too far from home, but with no expectations. (more…)

In my last post, I wrote that I did not expect to be playing Jenga in the dark at the Battle Conference and promised to say more about this after giving a snapshot of the papers discussed there. The reason behind this slightly odd behaviour lies in the difference between Battle and huge conferences like the IMC at Leeds, and also the blurring of boundaries between work done within the confines of sessions and networking outside (literally in this case).
