CAMELOT Conference - Sept. 26

 

Exploring The Road to CAMELOT!

Dear Darrell, I hope the New Year has treated you well. In preparation for CAMELOT 2026, the CAMELOT Team is preparing to send out the Call for Presentations to the general public. Before we do so, we wanted to reach out to you to invite you and DARC to CAMELOT 2026 which will be held on September 26th.  Last year you helped us bring back CAMELOT after a five year hiatus. Your booth was a highlight of our 2025 conference and many attendees have asked whether DARC would be returning to the 2026 conference. Last year’s conference included amazing research presentations and hands-on learning opportunities for over one hundred and fifty students, academics, and members of the public. We have an Experimental Archaeologist travelling from North Yorkshire, UK for our keynote lecture, and intend on having several highly esteemed colleagues in different areas of Archaeology for a round table panel. This year, the theme for CAMELOT is experiential learning. With this theme in mind, we are hoping to significantly expand the conference for its 2026 iteration, and we would love it if you could help with our goal. If you are interested in running a workshop or doing a research presentation, the Call for Presentations is linked here. https://forms.gle/hRKaUvdysc8Fj8yz8 Thanks, The CAMELOT Team

At this early date, I am considering a paper loosely titled 'Presenting the Norse'. 

This would be an update on two early papers, at ALHFAM - 1998, and the Viking Millennium Conference - 2000. Now with over 30 years since the original 'Norse Encampment' demonstration at Orangeville in 1993, there is some value in reflecting on all the experiences presenting via living history.
