[Sasnet] HMS Urban Archaeometallurgy - programme

[Marcos Martinón-Torres]

Dear all,

Please find below the programme for the forthcoming HMS Workshop on Urban
Archaeometallurgy, which will take place at the UCL Institute of Archaeology
next Saturday 21st February.

For further information, directions, etc, you can follow this link:
http://hist-met.org/2009workshop.html (but note that the provisional
timetable there still needs to be updated!).

Attendance is free, and we will make sure that there is plenty of coffee and
time for discussion between specialists and nonspecialists. I will be
grateful, however, if you send me an email in advance to let me know that
you are planning to attend, so that we can estimate numbers
(m.martinon-torres at ucl.ac.uk).

Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible,

Marcos
