Conference Programme

This conference will explore the impact that scientific developments have on archaeology, specifically the ways in which we identify sites, excavate, record, conserve and interpret.  Papers on all aspects of archaeological science are welcome, from dating methods to archaeometallurgy to palynology to conservation.  We invite both specialists from all disciplines to present their data analysis and also excavators who have relied on various scientific methodologies to successfully interpret their sites.  This conference provides the opportunity to compare and contrast the wide variety of techniques available to archaeologists and to discover the diverse cutting-edge research currently underway.

The conference will open on Thursday 31 March with a keynote address from Dr Charlotte Roberts (Durham University). This will take place at the Royal Irish Academy, Dawson St, Dublin 2 and admission to this lecture will be free.
