What a difference a day makes
Sep. 10th, 2014 08:31 pmWhat a day! Two much useful concrit emails on my ph.d. proposal, one offer of co-authorship on a zooarch article, and I heard about not one, but two (!) interesting conferences!
First, there's a textile conference in London 10-11 October with some interesting talks on hair nets, tablet weaving, fingerloop braiding and other things definitely not related to animal bone (well, I guess the tablets could be made of bone...).
Then, there is a conference on animal husbandry in the western Roman empire in Sheffield 20-22 November. I deal with quite a lot of Roman sites, so it could be very useful for me. £60 is not bad for 2.5 days, but then you have to add accomodation cost. I'm tempted, but I ought to wait until the programme is posted so I can do a better usefulness/cost evaluation.
And now, back to proposal wrangling.
