The Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology is organising a joint conference with the German Society for Medieval and Post-Medieval Archaeology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Archäologie des Mittelalters und der Neuzeit, DGAMN) on:
 
*New Directions and Approaches for Late Medieval and Post-Medieval Archaeology in Germany, Britain and Ireland* 
German Maritime Museum, Bremerhaven, 20 - 22 September 2017
Call for Papers closes 30 April
 
Both SPMA and DGAMN pursue similar goals, and the main objective of this conference is to bring the two organisations and their members closer together in order to facilitate potential future collaborations and projects. The focus of the conference will be the similarities and differences in approaches practised on both sides of the North Sea. Papers will offer opportunities to engage with the current state of research and future directions for the archaeology of the late medieval and post-medieval (including modern) periods in Germany, Britain and Ireland. Paper suggestions should relate to one (or more) of the following core themes:
 
Theoretical and methodological approaches
Cultural Heritage Management
Material Culture Studies
Maritime Archaeology
 
Further information about the themes and the conference in general is available at http://www.spma.org.uk/events/bremerhaven2017/
 
The conference will take place at the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven on 20 – 22 September 2017, and the Call for Papers closes on 30 April. Queries and paper proposals should be directed to Dr Natascha Mehler at [log in to unmask]
