Experimental Archaeology Day Conference

http://www.sogaer.ex.ac.uk/archaeology/conferences/present/exp2007.shtml

I don't usually cover conferences (EEF are so much better at it), but I thought that this was one that was unlikely to be picked up by Egyptology information services, as it is not exactly mainstream to Egyptological studies. The conference will take place on 17th November 2007. The above website introduces the conference as follows:

"The vast and exciting potential of experimental archaeology often goes unrecognised in academic archaeology. The basis of this conference are the key issues that surround the integration of experimental archaeology as a mainstream methodology.

Key themes:
Explore the scope of ‘experimental archaeology’ and distinguish between full experiments, pilot experiments, pre-experiments, experiential activities, public demonstrations and hobby projects.
The role of experimental archaeology in academic research.
Improving ways of promoting experimental archaeology in academic research
Improving communication between academic experimental archaeologists and crafts people.
How to communicate experiments and results to the academic community and the public."
