The next Roman Archaeology Conference, sponsored by the Roman Society of London, will be held at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, on April 3-5, 2009.

As is the custom, the RAC does not invite submission of individual papers but rather the proposal of thematic sessions accompanied by suggestions of the names of 5 or 6 speakers per session. These proposals should be sent to jra AT journalofromanarch.com which will forward them to all the committee members, who are Tony Wilmott (Roman Society ex officio), Susan Alcock, Peter Attema, Stephen Dyson, Bruce Hitchner, John Humphrey, Simon Keay, David Mattingly and Nicola Terrenato. A member of the committee will then help develop the programme with the session organizer.

The Web site for the conference will be http://sitemaker.umich.edu/rac2009/home . Information about registration and accommodations, as well as session themes, will be posted by the spring of 2008. We warmly invite speakers and attendees and would be grateful if you would alert your own friends and colleagues to this upcoming conference to help ensure its success.
