From: David Meadows dmeadows@idirect.com>
---I have finally managed to update the Atrium jobs board, with 15 or so links to current (I believe) jobs as well as links to the APA, MSU, and CHE job listings. To visit the page, please point your browser to: http://web.idirect.com/~atrium/bib liotheca/bulletin/jobs.html
---That said, I might as well also point out that you can receive all the listings as I receive them (whether sent directly to me or culled from online sources) by email by sending a blank message to: atriumjobs@onelist.com
---That said, and considering that there are 213 souls subscribed to the AtriumJobs list, it is also salutary to make an appeal to all folks who know of jobs at their institution to send them to me (if they haven't appeared on a major list). While at the website I only post full time positions at universities/colleges, I do send out part-time and Latin/Greek teaching (i.e. non-university) positions to the email list. Please note that the listings include Canada, the U.S., the U.K., etc..

(Editor's note: David's website, the Atrium http://web.idirect.com/~atrium/, is well worth a visit; it contains numerous resources, references and materials of interest for Classicists.)

Workshop in Central Mediterranean Prehistory
November 13, 1999
Accordia Research Centre, University College London
2nd Call for Papers

---We have received a number of proposals for papers to be given at the 1-day workshop in Central Mediterranean Prehistory, Saturday, 13 November 1999, at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London.
---Would all those interested please send titles and brief abstracts by the end of September. Because of field work commitments, these should be sent in August to John Robb (Southampton) or in September to Mark Pearce (Nottingham) - addresses below.
---The workshop is organized by John Robb (Southampton) and Mark Pearce (Nottingham) and sponsored by the Accordia Research Center, University of London.
---Description of Conference: This is a day to talk shop to discuss our recent work on Italian prehistory, much of it unpublished and in progress. Italian prehistory doesn't have a single primary journal or outlet in the Anglophone world, and there are few occasions when we can discuss our research and share ideas and information with colleagues interested in the region for its own sake. We are seeking papers on all periods from the Paleolithic through to the Iron Age, from Italy, Sicily, Sardinia and Malta. Participants at all levels from student to professor are welcomed, and we would like to accommodate all or most interested speakers. Contributions can be either synthetic, interpretive or issue- oriented papers (20 minutes) or short reports on analyses or fieldwork in progress. The latter will be presented as posters in a formal session with a scheduled, chaired viewing tour. Please let your colleagues and students know about the workshop.
