The Iron Age Research Student Seminar (IARSS) is an informal conference for post-graduate students studying any aspect of Iron Age Archaeology in Britain, Europe or the wider world. It provides an opportunity for researchers to meet others studying this archaeological period, hear about the latest projects and discoveries, and discuss their own research.
The seminar will be held over two days on 3rd and 4th June 2010. Sessions will consist of 20 minute papers (15 with 5 for questions) delivered by those well into their research projects and 10 minutes papers for first year researchers who wish to give an introduction to their projects. The presentations will be divided into four sessions, which are now full:
Discussion sessions, chaired by leading experts in Iron Age archaeology, will be held at the end of each day, providing an opportunity for the development of themes and ideas raised in the papers.
A drinks reception will be held on the evening of the 2nd June, to provide an opportunity for people to meet and mingle before the start of the conference. The conference dinner will be held at Omar Khan’s restaurant on the evening of the 3rd June, and will be followed by a conference quiz. An optional field trip to explore the archaeology of the Yorkshire Dales is also planned for Saturday 5th June.
This year a poster session will be available at the Iron Age Research Student Seminar. The poster session will provide a forum for researchers to showcase their work, and obtain feedback on ongoing research from conference attendees.
