General information
The CAHO Seminar Series is co-organised by Samuele Ongaro and Alexandra Barroso. The seminars are run during university term time every three weeks on a Tuesday at 16:00 GMT/BST and typically run for 1 hour (45 minute talk with 15 minutes for questions).
Series format and location
The CAHO seminars are run in a hybrid fashion, so that even those unable to attend in person can join us online. Seminars will take place in the Wymer Lab (either for the in-person speakers or an in-person screening of remote speakers), located in the purpose-built Archaeology Building (65a) on Avenue Campus, University of Southampton. The seminars will also be simultaneously live-streamed on Microsoft Teams for the audience attending online.
We aim to record the seminars for those who are unable to attend on the day, however please be aware that this is at the discretion of the speaker as the content is their intellectual property. We do intend to provide prior notice of confirmed recordings in the promotional emails sent out for the specific talk, but this is not always feasible.
Interested in getting a speaker or want to present your research?
The seminars have over the years provided a brilliant platform to discuss new and innovative research in human origins and allowed researchers to network with each other from all over the world. We always aims to bring a variety of topics to the wider CAHO community, but if there is a specific speaker you would like to see or if you would like to present your research, please contact one of the co-organisers linked above.
