In association with the University of Exeter History and Archaeology department, we are delighted to announce the call for papers for the Society for Medieval Archaeology’s 2022 Student Colloquium.

The colloquium will take place over three days, including two days of conference and workshops, and a trip on the 16th. The keynote speaker and trip destination will be confirmed shortly. In order to ensure the event is accessible as possible this will also be a hybrid event.

We welcome papers from students and early career researchers on any aspect of medieval archaeology from the 5th to 16th centuries. These should aim to be between 15 to 20 minutes and can focus on any region globally.We warmly encourage interdisciplinary and archaeology adjacent proposals. Talks will be grouped thematically, and we hope presenters will reflect on each others work.

We are also welcoming posters on any ongoing research, for instance the progress and goals of an ongoing PhD project. These should aim to be A1. Poster presenters will also be offered the opportunity to give a 3-minute introduction to the group.

Abstracts should be between up to 200 words, and sent to Arthur Redmonds at ar621@exeter.ac.ukby the 3rd of October 2022. Please include a 100 – 150 word biography for inclusion in the programme and indicate if you hope to attend in person or online.  Any queries about the event are welcome, please use the same email address.

Registration for the conference is free for members of the society, and £20 for non-members.  Registration will open soon. For further information, please visit: http://medievalarchaeology.co.uk/how-to-join/.
