Hi

Call for Papers

The City and the Bush
2005 Australasian Society for Historical Archaeology Conference
Melbourne, 29 September - 2 October

Papers are now being sought for the 2005 ASHA conference.  People are
invited to consider presenting a paper and/or organising a session.  There
will also be a poster session for students and a modest prize for the best
student paper presented at the conference.  If you are interested in
presenting a paper or poster, please send a title, 100 word abstract and
your contact details.  Those organising a session are requested to supply
the names and contact details of all those included in the session, as well
as titles and abstracts.  The closing date for abstracts is 1 August 2005.

The conference will be held at La Trobe University's
city campus, adjacent the vibrant Queen Victoria Market precinct.
The theme of the City and the Bush will be reflected in walking tours of
public archaeology interpretive displays on some of Melbourne's recent
archaeological excavations, a visit to the new Heritage Victoria
Conservation Laboratory, and a post-conference field-trip to
heritage sites and wineries on the Mornington Peninsula.

Contact Sam Spiers ([log in to unmask]) for further information or to
forward abstracts etc.
