CALL FOR PAPERS

We invite submissions of abstracts for the 15th annual Amphorae conference. Postgraduate students from Honours to PhD level are invited to present their research in a friendly and positive environment. We also welcome the submission of panels of similar papers.

​

The theme for Amphorae XV is "Hindsight is 2020."

​

Things have progressed dramatically since classical antiquity, but there are often surprising parallels with the past to be found in modern societies. Indeed, many of the fundamental problems tackled by societies and individuals have not changed in the intervening centuries (diseases, social unrest, and the human condition to name but a few).

This year's theme invites papers to consider the ways in which individuals and cultures addressed problems in antiquity and where they shed light on our own methods and motivations.

​

Abstracts which do not align with this theme will also be considered.

​

Papers will be 20 minutes, with an additional 10 minutes for questions.

​

Further guidelines and the abstract submission form can be found in the Submit a Paper page.

​

You can also propose a panel of papers on a particular theme. The panel structure must conform to the 90 minutes allocated to each session. Please see the guidelines for panel submissions for further information.

​

We also invite submissions of archaeological reports as a specific category of presentation. We understand that these submissions may be projections. Please read the guidelines for archaeological reports for further information.
