Dates

• Meeting: Wednesday 20th September (12:00) – Thursday 21st September (17:00)
• Optional Fieldtrip (Liverpool funded): Friday 22nd September to Bronze Age Great Orme (Cu) Mine, 19th century Pb mine, North Wales.

Themes

• Review of assembled records, choice of regions for synthesis
• Regional and global histories and archaeology
• Data gaps; common narratives; significant periods and their spatial footprints; factors influencing Pb distribution
• Development of papers on global synthesis, methodology and grand challenges

Venue

• Northwest UK (likely Liverpool or Llandudno, North Wales). Llandudno in North Wales is our favoured venue. It is accessible from cities/airports by train, though we hope to have a minibus too to facilitate access.

Financial support

• We have funds from PAGES to support the workshop, but this will most likely be restricted to ECRs, and others with restricted access to funding. We will know more when we have expressions of interest.
