Conference Announcements: 12th NWLDW 12th New World Luminescence Dating Workshop June 27-30, Greenville NC The 12th New World Luminescence Dating Workshop (NWLDW) will be held in Greenville, North Carolina, June 27-June 30. Both poster and oral presentations are planned for Thursday June 28 and Friday June 29. In the afternoon of Wednesday June 27 we will discuss the foundation of a Trapped Charge Dating Association which was suggested at the Luminescence and Electron Spin Resonance Dating conference (LED 2017) held in Cape Town. We also suggest electing regional representatives for the working group during that time. We will be offering an optional field trip to the North Carolina coast on Saturday, June 30. Details will follow later. For questions contact Regina DeWitt (dewittr@ecu.edu) We look forward to seeing you in June! Regina DeWitt and Shannon Mahan 78

LAIS 2018 continues the series of symposia initiated in Delphi 2009, Lisbon 2012 and Paris 2015. It is an international initiative focussing on the use of luminescence for the dating and analysis of materials in archaeological and geoarchaeological context. In addition, it supports archaeological and archaeometrical communities to further develop and expose luminescence methodology. Topics Advances in luminescence methodology Dose rate determination Innovative materials Application in all fields of archaeological sciences (Geo-)Archaeological case studies Local organiser: F. Preusser International standing committee: I. Liritzis (Chairman, Rhodes, Greece), N. Zacharias, (Kalamata, Greece), Α. Ζink (Paris, France), Ana Luisa Rodrigues (Lisbon, Portugal).
