theoretical archaeology group
May 23rd to 25th 2008 at Columbia University in the City of New York
In the spirit of advancing debates in archaeology the editorial board of Archaeological Dialogues is pleased to announce its sponsorship of an essay competition in conjunction with the arrival of TAG to the shores of the Americas. As a journal dedicated to broadening the horizons of theoretically engaged archaeology we are excited to support TAG-NYC which promises to build a community of those willing to pose questions which move beyond narrow methodological, temporal, geographical or ideological confines. The goal of this competition, therefore, is to capture that climate of discussion and provide a further venue for continuing the dialogues that it will undoubtedly foster.
The Prize:
Apart from the eternal fame and glory of victory, the winner will receive the following spoils:
- A
one-year subscription to Archaeological Dialogues
- A
certificate for $100 towards the purchase of books published by Cambridge
University Press
- Publication of the winning essay in an upcoming issue of AD
The winner of the competition will be announced at the opening ceremony of TAG-NYC and is expected to be present to receive the award.
Rules of the competition:
-
The competition is open to all participants who will be presenting work
at TAG-NYC
- Essays
should be in the range of 5000 words for consideration as a "note"
in the journal. Essays of 10,000 words may, however, be considered for
"discussion" pieces.
- Essays
should be related to the work presented at TAG-NYC, although it is understandable
that submissions will be more extensive than the presented papers.
- All
topics are open. The only requirements are that they be in English and
develop some aspect of theoretically informed archaeology.
- For consideration papers must be submitted by May 15, 2008 and can be emailed to ad@arts.gla.ac.uk
Submissions
will be reviewed by a committee comprised of AD editors, TAG-NYC organizers
and a member of the AD advisory board. All decisions will be final.
