Dear all,
The Institute for Archaeo-Metallurgical Studies is inviting to its
annual
Summer School at the Institute of Archaeology UCL in London. (For a
map, see
www.streetmap.co.uk, using the London post code WC1H 0PY).
The first week (16 to 20 June 2003) will cover all aspects of ancient
mining
technology, drawing from an extensive range of case studies across the
world.
The second week (23 to 27 June 2003) will cover a wide range of
archaeo-metallurgical lectures, beginning with the archaeological
evidence
for copper smelting in the Middle East and Thailand, and leading to
important specialist topics such as Metals in Numismatics, lead
smelting,
and the interplay between metallurgy and ceramics and glass,
respectively.

The lecturers for the two weeks include Professors Tim Shaw, Beno
Rothenberg, HG Bachmann, VC Pigott and Thilo Rehren. The fee will be
GBP 50
per week, or GBP 85 for both weeks. We regret that we can not assist
with
accomodation and meals, but London offers a wide range of options
here...

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.

Further details can be found at www.ucl.ac.uk/iams/  , or contact
Xander
Veldhuijzen at the Institute of Archaeology / IAMS at
h.veldhuijzen AT ucl.ac.uk for bookings and requests.

I am looking forward to seeing you in June,
Thilo Rehren
