Here's an introduction to the next CIAS PhD student!
My name is Douglas Carr, IвҖҷve just started a PhD looking at Roman coinage from the northern frontier here at Newcastle in collaboration with English Heritage and Cardiff University. IвҖҷll be looking at supply and usage of coinage at the frontier over the next few years. I previously completed both my undergraduate and masters degrees here at Newcastle focusing on late Roman material culture.

Last Friday, our MA Archaeology students completed their last day of fieldwork training where they got to undertake geophysical surveys of post-medieval kiln sites in Littlethorpe. Now to process and interpret the data!
Further congratulations to some of our post-graduates students who won the Research Scholarships and Expeditions poster prize as part of the Newcastle University Humanities Research Institute (NUHRI) Challenge Labs 2018 competition.
The prize came with cash winnings and was awarded to the team of Marco Romeo Pitone, Victoria A L Lucas, Kypros Kyprianou, Katie Oswell, Jasmine Padgett, Alicia Sawyer, Amber Roy, and Violeta Tsenovathe.
The poster was entitled: "Experimental Bronze Age Copper Smelting: a tool for research and outreach" and was a collaboration between members of the Experimental Archaeology Research Group and MA students in Digital Creative Practice and Film Practice based in the Culture Lab.
A very successful year for our Stage 3 students, seven of which were awarded prestigious Newcastle University Vacation Scholarships that provided them with funding to carry out their own research projects over the summer.
Last night, they presented their research in a well-attended poster session and made their supervisors and the school very proudрҹҳҠ. Congratulations go to all of them for achieving this great honour and for representing our subject so well through their quality research!
Further congrats to Cathleen who was selected among all students from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences to present her research to a very large audience at the Curtis Auditorium. Her talk on the material culture of the Salem Witch Trials was expertly-delivered, interesting and well-received. A proud evening for Archaeology at Newcastle!
