Society for Medieval Archaeology
PG Colloquium 2013
Aberdeen University
7-8 November, 2013
The SMA Colloquium provides a platform for postgraduates and early career professionals to share their research. Previous colloquiums have been held in Birmingham, Cambridge and Cardiff, organised by a local committee and our SMA student representative.
Papers from across the medieval period (5th-16th centuries AD) and from all geographical areas are welcomed. However, to reflect Aberdeen’s focus on the archaeology of the North we are particularly interested in talks on medieval archaeology that focus on the Northern Europe, for example the northern Britain, the Baltic region, Scandinavia and the North Atlantic region, and the first day of the conference will be set aside for papers on this theme. Papers from subjects other than archaeology, but which have a broader medieval significance, will also be considered. Abstracts for posters are also encouraged.
Abstracts should be written concisely in English (no more than 150 words) and sent to medieval.archaeology@googlemail.com by Friday 6th September. Please include 5-10 keywords with paper abstracts. Please note that papers will be 20 minutes in length with a 10 minute discussion for each session.
Presentations will be restricted to postgraduates and early career professionals but we welcome posters from all medievalists.
NB: This conference will be held in English.
