15th March 2014
Merchant Adventurers’ Hall,
Fossgate, York, YO1 9XD, United Kingdom
Join a host of international speakers as they discuss the changing and increasing role of women in archaeology.
To celebrate International Women’s Day, the Right Honourable Lord Mayor of York and President of York Archaeological Trust, Councillor Julie Gunnell, is inviting participants to Women in Archaeology 2014, a one-day conference in York to discuss the role of women in archaeology.
The results of DISCO 2012-14 (Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe) indicate that archaeology is steadily becoming a more female profession. In 2012, 46% of archaeologists in the UK were women, compared to 35% fifteen years before. This trend is set to continue, with women likely to make up the majority of the archaeological workforce by 2024.

Performance and Display
in the History of Archaeology
Conference at UCL Institute of Archaeology 18 October 2014
This conference aims to explore the development of visual cultures in archaeology, focusing in particular on the creation and reception of archaeological performances and displays such as public excavations, demonstrations, congresses, lectures and exhibitions.
Performance and display have long been recognised as important themes in the history of science and medicine, as seen in the work of Lorraine Daston, Simon Schaffer and others. We welcome the submission of papers that draw and reflect on this wider intellectual tradition.
The conference will be based on the discussion of pre-circulated papers, to allow more time for debate as well as to enable participation by authors and discussants who cannot attend in person. We will live-stream the conference and include online discussion and contributions.
Prospective presenters should submit a 500 word abstract to the organisers at performdisplay@gmail.com. If your paper is accepted you will be expected to submit your full paper three weeks before the conference date for pre-circulation. Papers should be c.4-8000 words in length, be fully referenced, and constitute original research. We are particularly keen to receive papers from graduate students and early career scholars.

Pendlebury at Amarna
Film Screening and Discussion with Chris Naunton and John J. Johnston (Egypt Exploration Society)
Tuesday 25 March, 5-6 pm; Room G6 Institute of Archaeology
Reception to follow supported by the Heritage Section
Abstract
John Pendlebury was appointed director of the Egypt Exploration Society’s excavations at Tell el-Amarna, Egypt, for the 1930-31 season. The ‘film record’ of excavations at Tell el-Amarna was made over the course of three seasons from 1930 to 1933.
Pendlebury embraced the idea of filming his dig in order to raise awareness of the importance of the work. In recording moving images at Amarna Pendlebury and his team could claim to be closer to the cutting edge.
The Lucy Gura Archive at the Egypt Exploration Society now holds the footage from these excavations, capturing the life and work of this fascinating man and his team at a pivotal moment in the history of the site.

Dear HARN colleagues
I know, I know, I promised exciting posts from Pamela and Gabe about the history of HARN, royalty and Freemasonry and instead I have a title that suggests disorganisation and a lack of inspiration. But, those exciting posts will appear, very soon, maybe even next week. And, even though I don’t have those posts for you I do have news of a couple of events, exciting events no less! I also have a bad attack of the British Education system thinking it’s a good idea to give my child* a week’s holiday in the middle of February when it’s wet and miserable outside and said child is bored, bored, BORED by everything inside I suggest we do. However, that digression aside – the exciting events . . .
First exciting event – Amara Thornton has sent in this information about what’s obviously going to be a fascinating evening:

You can find out more about the Institute of Archaeology’s History of Archaeology Network here http://www.ucl.ac.uk/archaeology/research/directory/historyofarchaeology_network
This event is open to everyone not just UCL staff and students so I’m sure British based HARN members will be eager to attend, and I’d be delighted if one of you would write up the evening for this blog. If you’re interested then email me at HARNgroup@googlemail.com and put ‘Weblog’ in the title. I’ll also take this opportunity to remind you all that if you give us details of your seminars, workshop, conferences etc or if you’re doing a call for papers, have written an article or book then send us the details (same email address) and we’ll happily publicise that information.
Second Exciting Event – again British based (my apologies to HARN members outside the UK, if you know of any non-UK events taking place then do let me know).
On Saturday 15th of March to celebrate International Women’s Day there will be a one day conference in York on Women in Archaeology 2014. Details to be found here http://www.yorkarchaeology.co.uk/about/WIA%20conf%2014-1a.pdf Obviously this should be a fascinating day, and anything that supports International Women’s Day gets my vote. However, I’m posting it here because, even though the poster doesn’t say so, some of the papers on Gender in the Archaeological Workplace will be looking at the historical involvement of women in archaeology. Nor does it say – because of the above mentioned disorganisation caused by a whining bored child – that I will be giving a paper with Dr Anne Teather about 20th and 21st century British women archaeologists. More details will follow when I have them.
If you know of any other events, or if there’s anything you’d like to bring to our attention then do please get in touch. Hopefully next week I will have more brain and should have a post about HARN – the early days . . . .

Dear HARN colleagues
As you know HARN has been undergoing some changes, we've sent out emails, you've answered the survey, we're updating our Facebook profile, we're on Academia.edu and hopefully we'll be expanding our presence on LinkedIn. Another change is this weblog; we'll still announce of seminars, workshops, conferences and publications but we also want the blog to be more interactive, a forum for the discussion of the history of archaeology, somewhere members can share their thoughts and views.
I'm proposing having a weekly blog entry rather than only when there's news. But I need your help, I need volunteers to write posts that we can then share with the members. I had in mind an expanded version of the short pieces each member contributes when they join, a space for you to talk about your research or how you came to be interested in the history of archaeology and that's certainly something I want to incorporate. However, then it occurred to me, why stop there? If this is going to be a forum, we need to look beyond HARN as well as within, and we need more voices than mine if we're going to engage in debate. So, I'm throwing this open to the membership and soliciting your help: could you, would you, write a blog post? It can be about anything to do with the history of archaeology, a book or article review, a seminar/workshop/conference review, a review of a television or radio programme on the history of archaeology, a discussion of how archaeology has historically been portrayed in film or literature, anything that interests you. If you'd like to contribute then email HARNgroup@googlemail.com and put 'Weblog' in the subject and submit a piece with no more than 850 words. Make sure you include a title and attach any images that you would like included. We will read through your work and contact you with questions, small changes, and information about when it may be posted. Or, if there's something you'd like to see discussed here, get in touch and I'll do my best.
I'm hoping to start posting regularly from now on, look out for a history of HARN from founder member/HARN creator Pamela Jane Smith and a wonderful post from Gabe Moshenska about how biographical research on one archaeologist led to working on Freemasonry, Milton, mummies, Royalty and bad poetry.
Watch this space . . ..
