African Archaeology Research Day

2013

The Sainsbury Institute for Art at the University of East Anglia welcomes you to African Archaeology Research Day 2013

Final programme now available. See right menu.

We are delighted to invite you to the 10th African Archaeology Research Day (AARD). This is being hosted by the Sainsbury Institute for Art on Friday 1st November and Saturday 2nd November, 2013. This year the conference will include one or two invited keynote speakers, papers in a series of themed sessions, smaller discussion groups on the Saturday morning, and posters, which will be available for viewing over the duration of the conference.

This year’s organising committee is Anne Haour, Joanne Clarke, Sam Nixon, Nick Brooks and Nadia Khalaf. Also see the Centre for African Art and Archaeology for more information on African research at UEA.

The theme of the conference is ‘Africa’s material culture past and present’. Our central theme will be, of course, African archaeology, but we are keen to attract input from related disciplines such as art history, heritage management, history and museology.

The conference will take place at and close to the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts. If you would like to submit a paper for the conference, please complete an application form and post it or email it back to us. Forms should be returned by 30 September 2013. Forms received before 31 July will benefit from a reduced registration fee, involving £5 off all rates. For full details click here.
