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

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.
