This year’s conference will adopt a thematic approach focusing on the study of rural life in urban and industrialized worlds. Although current research has largely focused on the urban experience during the later historical period, this conference seeks papers using material approaches to explore life in rural contexts within urban and industrialized worlds. The Centre for Historical Archaeology actively promotes interdisciplinary connections and welcomes contributions from archaeologists as well as researchers outside of the discipline of archaeology.
The conference will span over two days with the first devoted to presentations and the second comprising a discussion-based workshop with the aim to create a statement on the current state of research and future directions of study. Proposals are invited for 20 minute papers discussing subjects related to this year’s theme. Please send abstracts of no more than 300 words by Friday, March 8th, 2013 tochaleicester@gmail.com
The Centre for Historical Archaeology at the University of Leicester is home to Britain's largest grouping of researchers specialising in historical archaeology, and aims to encourage and co-ordinate interdisciplinary research in the field of historical archaeology by building links with other departments in the UK and internationally, and supporting a range of research initiatives.
