CALL:

The conference is aimed equally at postgraduate students, early career researchers and established academics. The intent is to facilitate a multi-disciplinary discussion and therefore researchers from any relevant discipline are encouraged to participate. Papers on any aspect of Ancient Warfare are sought. These will be of thirty minutes duration with ten minutes for comments/questions.

Ancient Warfare in this context is from the Prehistoric era until the ‘Fall of Constantinople’. However, papers that show a continuation from these periods to other periods, including those relating to future warfare, will be considered. Submissions relating to all cultures and regions of the globe will be considered.

The deadline for submission of abstracts, which should be of c. 300 words, is October 31st 2015. All contributors will be required to pay a conference fee, £25.00 for current students or the unwaged and £35.00 for other participants. This is a reduced fee and also covers attendance at the conference.

If you are an experienced academic, willing to act as a chair or able to offer help with choice of abstracts, and other aspects of organising the conference, please contact me.

The conference BLOG, which is currently being developed, will be available at: https://ancientwarfare2016.wordpress.com/
