CALL FOR PAPERS

The 20th Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference is to be held at the
University of Oxford from Thursday 25 March to Sunday 28 March 2010.

Following the recent call for sessions, the Organizing Committee would like to
invite proposals for individual papers. These should take the form of an
abstract of the paper, no more than 300 words in length. Papers will be 25-
minutes (including time for questions).

Papers can be submitted for inclusion in one of the four confirmed sessions,
the titles of which are listed below, or for one of the two general sessions
which will be made up entirely of individually-submitted papers. The confirmed
sessions all have some confirmed papers which were proposed by the session
organizer and some free spaces; papers submitted for inclusion for a specific
session will also be considered, in the event that that session is over-
subscribed, for the general session. It should be made clear on the proposal
which session the paper is intended for.

The confirmed sessions for TRAC 2010 are:

1. Cloth, clothing and gender in Roman art
Organizer: Kelly Olson, University of Western Ontario

2. Engendering material cultural packages in Roman archaeology
Organizer: Courtney Ward, University of Oxford

3. Globalising the Roman Empire
Organizer: Martin Pitts, University of Exeter

4. Archaeologies of tradition in Roman religion. The problem of
cultic �continuity�
Organizers: Matthew M. McCarty & Charlotte Potts, University of Oxford

5. General session I

6. General session II
