Ancient Mining and Metallergy Summer SchoolIAMS SUMMER SCHOOL 2004 Dear all, It is my pleasure to announce once again the upcoming IAMS Summer School. Our annual two-week event will treat "Ancient Mining Technology" and "Ancient Smelting and Metallurgy", and will take place from Monday June 21 until Friday July 2 2004 at the Institute of Archaeology University College London 31-34 Gordon Square London WC1H 0PY United Kingdom (For a map, see www.streetmap.co.uk, using the London post code WC1H 0PY). We would like to invite you to the annual Summer School on Extractive Mining and Metallurgy at the Institute of Archaeology in London. Running from Monday 21 June to Friday 2 July 2004, it offers one week on mining technology, taught by Professors Tim Shaw and Beno Rothenberg, and one week on extractive metallurgy, taught by Beno Rothenberg, Vince Pigott, H-G Bachmann, John Merkel and Thilo Rehren (in chronological order of appearance...). The Summer School is organised and sponsored by the Institute for Archaeo-Metallurgical Studies (IAMS), aiming at students and professionals with an interest in ancient technology and archaeometallurgy. The admission fee covers handouts and biscuits and a small contribution towards the costs; it is kept low to encourage and enable student participation. Admission for one week is GBP 75, for both weeks GBP 120 (single day attendance GBP 30). Unfortunately, we can not provide support for accommodation or travel costs. Details of the programme can be found at IAMS' webpage http://www.ucl.ac.uk/iams, and you can contact Xander Veldhuijzen at the Institute of Archaeology / IAMS at [email protected] for bookings and requests. The courses are intended for anybody interested in early mining and metallurgy, and require no existing specialist knowledge. However, opportunity will be given to explore specific aspects in more detail, within the given schedule. Both weeks can be taken independently from each other. |
