Where to go

Information for presenters

The program is available on the Conference Information page of this website. Please note the time you are presenting and/or chairing a session.

Presentation Format

      • 20 minute paper presentation with 10 minutes of discussion
      • Please make every effort to stick to the 20 minute limit so there can be a solid period for questions and comments.
      • Technological facilities: all the standard facilities (data projector, Powerpoint, internet connection, etc) will be available in the presentation rooms. If you have a Powerpoint, please bring it on a USB stick and arrive a few minutes before the start of your session so it can be set up in advance. We also recommend having an easily accessible copy saved online in case your USB is lost or does not work.

Poster presentations

We will be running a poster session during AMPHORAE to provide another option for delegates, particularly honours students, who may not have the time to prepare a full paper. To take part, you will need to put together an A1 or A2 sized poster that displays your research. You will not need to give a formal presentation with your poster, but should be prepared to talk about your research during the session, which will run as a casual get-together. Please indicate on the registration form if you will be presenting a poster, and submit an abstract in accordance with the guidelines above.

Travel Subsidies - Now closed

ASCS is again making available a number of bursaries to help defray the cost of travel to and from AMPHORAE. $2000 has generously been provided, which will be split among ten applicants ($200 each). We are aware that the subsidy will not cover the entire cost of travel, but as there is a limited amount of funding available we would like to share it around. We encourage honours and postgraduate students to apply for a bursary. Preference will be given to those offering a paper.

To apply for a bursary, please return this form to amphorae2019@gmail.com.

Applications close 30 April 2019.

Call for Papers - Poster abstracts still accepted

We invite all submissions of abstracts for the 13th Annual Meeting of Postgraduates in Hellenic or Roman Antiquities and Egyptology (AMPHORAE) to be held at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia from 9-11 June 2019.

The theme for Amphorae XIII is Future Directions. As postgraduate students in ancient world studies, our research represents the leading edge of study in our respective fields. We also live in exciting times, with rapid social and technological changes impacting the way we approach the ancient world. Indeed, change and consideration of the future was undoubtedly a concern for the peoples and cultures of our research.

The general call for papers is now closed. We thank all applicants for their abstracts and congratulate the accepted researchers.

Amphorae invites you to submit a poster abstract relevant to the theme of Future Directions to present in June, 2019.
