17th International Congress of Classical Archaeology
Rome, Italian and foreign Archaeological Research Institutes
22-26 September 2008

The Organising Committee of the 17th International Congress of Classical Archaeology invites all archaeologists, scholars, postgraduate students and academics to submit proposals for posters around the theme: NEW WORK IN CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGY.

NEW: unpublished, recently discovered, preliminary results from recent or ongoing work.

WORK: both fieldwork/excavation and thematic research will be accepted.

CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGY: the archaeology of the ancient Mediterranean world, within the approximate limits of the Roman Empire.

Poster presentations will take place at Italian and foreign research Institutions in Rome: this is a unique opportunity to visit prestigious venues and get to know numerous research projects in Italy and abroad.

Poster proposals are to be emailed by 15st March 2008 together with title, name of author(s)
and an abstract of maximum 200 words to: poster.aiaccongress2008@gmail.com

Important!
In order to allow for as many projects as possible to be exhibited, only 1 poster per research or fieldwork project will be accepted. For the same reason, no posters will be accepted for which the only author is already a speaker, or for which the presenter is going to be a speaker. The name of a speaker will be allowed on a poster only as co-author (i.e. together with one or more authors).

There is no limit to the number of authors involved in the research/fieldwork project and thus appearing on a poster. There are no restrictions as to the number of projects (and therefore posters) featuring the same author/s.

Posters will be selected according to the relevance of the proposed contribution to the theme: “New Work in Classical Archaeology”.

Due to the great number of proposals expected and to logistic constraints, the Committee wishes to stress that acceptance of Poster presentations (relevance to the proposed theme being equal) will work on a ‘first come, first accepted’ basis.

Poster presentations will take place during the Congress days in a number of Italian and foreign institutes across Rome. They will also be available electronically at the Congress venue.

Upon acceptance of the submitted proposal, each poster will need to be guaranteed a presenter (the author or one of the authors, with the exclusion of those who already participate in the Congress as speakers). Your poster, although accepted and received in both digital and paper format, will not be displayed until registration of the poster presenter has been received.

Speaker registration fees apply to individuals presenting posters, with the exception of postgraduate students to whom student fees apply.
