Rhys
Jones died in AD 2001 and was buried in Australia. Friends,
family and colleagues in England are organizing a day
of celebration in central London, at the Society of
Antiquaries, on Saturday 21 September 2002 - the nearest
Saturday to the anniversary of Rhys's passing.
We
plan a day of sparkling research papers on themes Rhys
worked with and cared for - Australia, Wales, the palaeolithic,
dating and hunter-gatherer archaeology. In the morning
and afternoon, there will be papers on those topics,
then towards the end of the afternoon some specfic memories
of Rhys and, to close, a social event with good Australian
wine.
All
are welcome. There will be advance booking with
tickets at a modest charge to cover the day's expenses.
This advance notice is to announce the Day and its date,
and to invite anyone who would like to contribute a
paper to the Day to contact Christopher Chippindale
Australia, hunter-gatherer research, Australian-based
Quaternary dating) or Stephen Aldhouse-Green (Wales,
palaeolithic, British-based Quaternary dating). There
will be later postings of the details on Britarch and
AusArch for those who might like to attend, but not
themselves contribute a paper.

World
archaeology courses at the University of Oxford
Oxford
offers both a
- One-year
MSt (Master
of Studies) degree in World Archaeology
and a
- Two-year
MPhil (Master of Philosophy)
degree in World Archaeology
Students
make full use of the opportunities for study and research
provided by Oxford's Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums
and their respective libraries, as well as the University's
other archaeological resources.
These
taught courses in World Archaeology allow graduate students
to develop their interests in areas of the world beyond
Europe and further back in time than the development
of farming. Major areas of regional expertise lie in
sub-Saharan Africa, Australasia, Palaeolithic Europe
and the Islamic world. Staff members have particular
research interests in, and can provide teaching that
covers, hunter-gatherer archaeology, the archaeology
of colonial contact and archaeological method and theory.
