FROM DR. CHALUPNIK:

Dear All,

       Please, find = enclosed=20 an updated list of submitted abstracts
together with a very = preliminary list=20 of the participant. We already
distributed it some time ago, but = seems to be=20 that it didn't reach all of
you. Let me apologize for=20 that.

      Due to extent of the = deadline of=20 abstracts submission we are a bit
delayed with programme. Some time = ago=20 abstracts have been sent to members
of SciCom for evaluation and in = the=20 meantime we are working on the
preliminary programme of LSC 2005. = When=20 ready, it will be distributed
through e-mail together with revised=20 abstracts. We will need you acceptance
for changes, which may be=20 done.

         Let me = remind you,=20 that we need full texts of your papers at least
a month before the=20 conference (so in mid-September). The reason is that we
would like = to=20 prepare CDs before LSC 2005 to be distributed during the=20
conference.

      We would like to = propose=20 some options concerning an excursion during
our meeting, and you = will find=20 it in the circular with the preliminary
programme. If you could let = us know=20 about your preferences, we will be very=20
grateful.

       &n= bsp;=20 Looking forward to see you in=20 Poland,

They should also have laboratory experience since they will be required to do sample preparations for the radiocarbon and stable isotope component of the project. The student should be willing to travel to England to collect both archaeological and modern samples from museums, private collections, and fishing clubs or environmental agencies. Evidence of competency in oral and written English (e.g. TEFL qualification) is required if English is not the first language. It is envisaged that the three-year project will commence in October 2005, although there is potential for a start of January 2006. Further information on the projects may be found at: http://www.qub.ac.uk/arcpal/projects.htm The School: The School of Archaeology and Palaeoecology conducts research of international importance. Queen's Archaeology and Palaeoecology achieved a Grade 5 (highest 5*) for the quality of its research in 1996 and again in 2001, placing it in the top 10 departments in the UK. In November 2000, the Palaeoecology Centre was awarded the Queen's Anniversary Prize. Over the past thirty years the School’s Palaeoecology Centre has developed an expertise in scientific dating methods, climate and environmental change and bioarchaeology. The Centre has been closely involved with the development of the tree-ring calibration curve used to calibrate all radiocarbon dates worldwide. Archaeological research ranges through early prehistory to the late medieval period across Europe, with a particular emphasis on Ireland and Great Britain. In 2002, the School established the Centre for Archaeological Fieldwork (CAF) which undertakes excavation work for Environment and Heritage Service (NI) and has provided employment for students and graduates. The 14CHRONO Centre: The School was recently awarded £6.2 million to set up the Centre for Climate, the Environment and Chronology (14CHRONO) funding new research on environmental and climate change and the establishment of an AMS radiocarbon laboratory, only the third such facility in the UK and the first in Ireland. The Centre brings together researchers with expertise in radiocarbon dating, stable isotope analysis, tephrochronology, dendrochronology, palaeoecology, and archaeology. Facilities are being built or upgraded and equipment is being installed to provide state-of-the-art technology to tackle problems of past and present climates and environments and the relation to societal change. Further details of the Centre may be found at: www.chrono.qub.ac.uk . Funding: Funding for the above project is available through a studentship, which will pay full fees and maintenance of circa £12,000 a year. Candidates should hold a 1st class or 2:1 Honours degree in the discipline specified or a related subject. Preference will be given to candidates with a Masters degree. Both EU and international (non EU) students are eligible to apply for the studentship. How to apply: Applicants should submit a completed Admission Form to the University. Additionally, prospective students should send a Curriculum Vitae and covering letter specifically addressing the candidate requirements to: Dr N.J. Whitehouse, Palaeoecology Centre, 42 Fitzwilliam Street, Queen’s University Belfast, Belfast BT9 6AX. Applicants should state clearly their availability regarding commencement of the project. All applications must reach the University by the 10th August 2005; this deadline will be adhered to strictly in the final section of candidates, we strongly advise that applications should be submitted well before this date. Applications are not accepted electronically.** Contacts:** Applicants who require further information of the projects are encouraged to visit: http://www.qub.ac.uk/arcpal/projects.htm and* *make direct contact with the potential supervisors.
