A separate Call for Papers will be issued after the final session line-up has been announced (see below). Please note: the Roman Archaeology Conference will have a full session devoted to Roman Britain (for which organisers are sought), a full session dealing with another region of the Roman Empire, which for 2018 will be Asia Minor, as well as a general session for any papers that do not correspond with a themed session (coordinated by the Organising Committee). The deadline for the submission of session proposals is Friday 28 April 2017 Submissions should sent by email to the RAC 2018 Organising Committee: hcarac2018@ed.ac.uk Session proposals will be considered by the RAC 2018 Organising Committee and sessions proposers will be informed of the Committee’s decision by email. The Conference schedule will be announced by the end of May 2017. A Call for Papers will follow in June 2017. Session proposers are reminded that successful session submissions will be advertised to encourage other speakers to apply to join their session. The deadline for paper proposals will be Friday 8 September 2017. The final programme of speakers will be decided by the Organising Committee together with the session proposers and announced in October 2017. Please note: This is a participative conference where more than half the delegates are speaking, so all delegates are expected to pay the conference fee. This helps keep the fees as low as possible and also maximises participation and engagement. Any questions can be directed to the RAC 2018 Organising Committee at hcarac2018@ed.ac.uk.
