Dear friends and colleagues
The 20th IPPA Congress will be held in Seam Reap, Cambodia, from Sunday 12 to
Saturday 18 January 2014. This gives people weekend days to travel to and from
Cambodia. At this early stage it is envisaged that there will be a gentle 'starting
program' on the first Sunday (morning registration, afternoon opening plenary
address and evening welcome event) followed by four full days of sessions with
the middle Wednesday 15 January clear for local tours/time out. Departures are
presently scheduled from Saturday 18 January.
If you would like to suggest a theme (which may contain one or more sessions) or
a session that we might fit in a larger theme, please tell me as soon as
possible. I will not set a closing date yet, but we need to get some suggestions
immediately to assist with key funding/sponsorship applications. The first and
most important application is due by 24 November this year (ie in three weeks
time).
If you propose a theme or session, it would be a great help if you could also
nominate likely or potential key participants. If you think those participants
may need partial or full assistance to attend, please let me know that as well.
A committee will call for and assess applications for assistance in due course.
I stress that this is a first call, and that the final closing date for themes,
sessions and papers will be set next year. We do however need your co-operation
now to provide preliminary details for much-needed sponsorship applications.
Please also pass this call around amongst any colleagues or students likely to
be interested.
This is the Hanoi program for reference

Workshop 'Analyzing Collapse: Destruction, Collapse and Memory'
Hebrew University / Jerusalem Institute of Advanced Studies and the Scholion
Research Center, Jerusalem
view further information / close further information
The Hebrew University, in conjunction with the Jerusalem Institute of Advanced
Studies and the Scholion Research Center, is delighted to announce the
inauguration of its Winter Academy. The workshop – which will take place
December 10th to December 16th, 2012 in Jerusalem – will be an exciting
interdisciplinary exploration titled ‘Analyzing Collapse: Destruction, Collapse
and Memory.’ The Academy will feature sessions and talks by leading scholars in
fields such as archaeology, geography, climatology, anthropology, history and
classical studies along with field-trips to some of the most important
‘collapse’ sites in Israel, such as Jerusalem, Hazor, Bet Shean, and the ancient
cities of the Negev. Among the confirmed participants are Gideon Avni (Hebrew
University), Ofer Bar-Yosef (Harvard), Michal Biran (Hebrew University), Ronnie
Ellenblum (Hebrew University), Yehuda Enzel (Hebrew University), Margalit
Finkelberg (Tel Aviv University), Israel Finkelstein (Tel Aviv University), Hugh
Kennedy (SOAS), Yochanan Kushnir (Columbia), Ari D. Levine (University of
Georgia), Amihai Mazar (Hebrew University), Michael McCormick (Harvard), Peter
Machinist (Harvard), Jodi Magness (UNC), Joseph Maran (Heidelberg), Sarah Morris
(UCLA), Bryan Ward-Perkins (Oxford), Yuri Pines (Hebrew University), James C.
Scott (Yale), Gideon Shelach-Lavi (Hebrew University), Miriam Stark (Honolulu),
Nili Wazana (Hebrew University), Norman Yoffee (NYU), Sharon Zuckerman (Hebrew
University), and others.
An integral part of the conference will be poster sessions. We HIGHLY
encourage students from around the world, both graduate and post-graduate, to
submit posters on relevant topics, and participate in the conference. As this is
an interdisciplinary conference, we look forward to receiving submissions from a
wide range of fields that relate – in one way or another – to collapse.
As a way of encouraging students to submit posters, we will award multiple
stipends – covering both participation fees in the conference and lodging for
the entire week – to the students who submit the most compelling posters.
Posters are due – via our website – by September 1, 2012.
We would be very grateful if you could help us spread the word to students who
might be interested in joining us for what will certainly be an unforgettable
week.
Please check out our website
www.collapse.huji.ac.il
for details about the itinerary, the participants, the poster competition, and
in order to sign up for the conference.
We look forward to seeing many of you here with us in December!

International Conference on Earthen Architecture in Asia
Mokpo, Korea
view further information / close further information
Deadline for receipt of abstracts is 30th March 2011.
Asian countries possess a rich archaeological, historical, and vernacular
earthen architectural heritage. Research studies have been carried out through
the last decades, gradually promoting this cultural richness even though many
Asian countries haven’t yet finished drawing up their immovable heritage
inventory. Moreover, many more countries of the region are considering the major
challenge of preserving their earth architectural heritage. Thus, more projects
of conservation and valorization of sites, many of them having been listed on a
national scale and by the UNESCO’s prestigious List of World Heritage, are being
set up. Another important challenge is the necessity of promoting sustainable
architecture and living environment at the core of which the use of natural
building materials plays a decisive part. Among these, earthen materials are
both abundant and accessible, and together with the rich knowledge and knowhow
related to them, offer a great potential. Many fundamental investigations on the
material, experimentations on building techniques, but also R&D projects aiming
at promoting innovations, have been carried out during the last decades in Asian
countries. All these scientific, cultural, social and economic assets, all these
progresses, decisive for the future of the Asian Region should be reviewed and
much more widely disseminated within the international community. This
conference offers such an opportunity.

Emergence of Bronze Age Societies: A Global Perspective
全球视野下的青铜时代
Five-day conference in November 2011, Baoji, Shaanxi province, China
Call for papers
The International Centre for Chinese Heritage and Archaeology (ICCHA), Institute
of Archaeology, University College London, Peking University and Baoji Municipal
People's Government, Shaanxi province, China, invite scholars to participate in
the conference Emergence of Bronze Age Societies: A Global Perspective.
The conference aims at enhancing our understanding of the background and
development of Bronze Age societies on a global scale. It will trace the
beginnings of the use of copper and bronze throughout Eurasia and beyond, and
investigate the societies that developed metallurgy. Questions to be raised are:
What constitutes a Bronze Age? Which characteristics share early bronze using
cultures? Is the use of bronze sufficient to define a Bronze Age society? What
kinds of artefacts were predominantly produced? Which technological solutions
were found in different bronze-using cultures to source raw materials and to
produce alloys and artefacts? What was the role of cross-cultural exchange in
the development of Bronze Age societies?
The conference especially seeks to provide a platform for integrating the
achievements of Chinese archaeological research on the Bronze Age into a world
wide context. For this reason the conference will be held in Baoji, Shaanxi
province, China, where a major bronze producing centre was located 3000 years
ago, and where one of the largest collections of bronze artefacts in all of Asia
is stored.
The conference will be held from 08 to 12 November 2011. The costs of local
accommodation and conference fees will be met by the organisers. Foreign
participants are responsible for their travel and visa costs.
The deadline for the submission of abstracts is 31 December 2010. Successful
candidates are expected to give a talk of 15 minutes and to present a poster of
their research during a poster session. Individual posters are welcome as well.
Date: 08 to 12 November 2011
Venue: Baoji Museum of Bronzes, Shaanxi province, China
Conference languages: English/Chinese with translation
The conference proceedings will be published as a peer-reviewed volume.
