Post Medieval Archaeology Congress 2024, University of Swansea 5-7 April: Call for Papers

The sixth annual Post-Medieval Archaeology Congress will be hosted by Swansea University in Wales. The meeting will be supported by CHART (Centre for Heritage Research and Training) and CRAM (Conflict, Reconstruction and Memory Research Group), both part of the History, Heritage, and Classics Department (School of Culture and Communication).

The annual Congress is open to all researchers to report current and recent research on any aspect of post-medieval/later-historical archaeology. There is no geographical focus and we welcome papers from around the world.  SPMA ask contributors to offer 15-minute papers, which the organisers will arrange into themed sessions, or poster displays. Organised sessions of papers set around a particular research interest or theme are also encouraged.  All papers at PMAC24 will be delivered in person.    

Please send paper or poster proposals with a title, abstract of up to 150 words, affiliation, and email address. Session proposals should include a title and abstract, as well as a list of speakers. Please send titles and abstracts to conference@spma.org.uk by 26 January.
