In 1995 our partners at Newcastle became the official hosts and directors of the Centre, and have been responsible for its programme and publications. Scholars participating came from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Poland and Russia, as well as a variety of western countries.
Negotiations are under way to publish the proceedings.
Dr Chapman spent the second half of 1996 in Romania and Bulgaria collecting material for a major piece of research for which he was granted research leave. He also conducted a further season of fieldwork in Hungary as part of the Upper Tisza Project. Professor Harding worked in Poland in May on the publication of the Sobiejuchy Project and spoke at a conference near Poznan that was part of the Council of Europe's Bronze Age Campaign.
