Late Antique Archaeology has now been established as a journal (as opposed to a book series) by Brill, who have provided a subsidy to support its editing.
This has enabled us to place the annual on a more stable footing, and to produce a subscription price of 50 euros for individuals. See:

The next two issues will cover:
Please consider a subscription, and especially ask your university libraries to do so, in order that the future of the series may be assured.
Best wishes,

Postgraduate Program in Mediterranean Archaeology: From Prehistory to Late Antiquity
The Department of History and Archaeology and the Archaeological Research
Unit of the University of Cyprus encourage applications for the postgraduate
program in Mediterranean Archaeology: From Prehistory to Late Antiquity.
The postgraduate program in Mediterranean Archaeology, at the University of
Cyprus, is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of graduate students
coming from different research fields, such as Archaeology, and the related
fields of History of Art, Architecture, Anthropology, and other subjects
that have applications in Archaeology, such as Geology, Physics and
Chemistry.
The first issue of the Journal of Ancient History has been compiled and is now on-line with free access from De Gruyter. These articles appear in the format that they will take in the subsequent print version of this volume (so fully citable now). This free access will be available for the next three months. Another issue will appear in November of this year.
The JAH continues to invite submissions of articles, and is committed to a speedy process from submission to publication while maintaining high standards of peer-review. Please submit any articles directly to me at this email address: gfarney@rutgers.edu For more on our submission criteria and process, see: http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/jah

International Congress on Lusitanian Amphorae – Production and Diffusion
Tróia, Portugal – 10-13th October 2013
Even though a number of Lusitanian amphora production sites are fairly well known today, and sites like Tróia had a large production capacity for fish products exported in those amphorae, the diffusion of these containers is not well documented.
A review by Portuguese archaeologists of the principal Lusitanian amphorae products, as well as a workshop featuring samples of these amphorae, will contribute to better understanding of these containers. Invited scholars from Italy, Belgium, France, and Spain will present their findings on the long-distance Lusitanian amphorae trade. Presentations from other investigators who wish to contribute to an improved understanding of the role of Lusitanian amphorae in the Roman economy are necessary and welcome.
Details on the congress program, application, and registration appear in the First Circular available here, or downloadable at: www.uc.pt/uid/cea. Thank you.
