Dear readers,

We are pleased to present Part 1 of 2 of Radiocarbon 2018, the Proceedings of the 23rd International Radiocarbon Conference, which was held June 17–22, 2018, in Trondheim, Norway and hosted by NTNU University Museum. Part 2 will be published in the December 2019 issue of Radiocarbon.

The study of radiocarbon is broad, so this meeting brought together researchers from many fields and interests. We are grateful to the more than 280 participants from around the world who met in Trondheim to share their diverse ideas and perhaps discuss new collaborations. We would like to thank the sponsors, invited speakers, and committee members for their invaluable contributions. We also thank all the participants for their engaging and fruitful discussions, both in session and out. In all, we hosted approximately 110 oral presentations and over 230 poster presentations.

When the sessions were done for the day, participants were free to explore the lovely town of Trondheim, which is within walking distance of the conference venue, the Scandic Lerkendal hotel. Excursions included pub nights as well as a beautiful organ concert in the historic Nidaros Cathedral, followed by a gala dinner held at the stately Frimurerlogen building, where guests were treated to live music, an excellent meal, wine, and (for some) dancing into the night.

We hope everyone enjoyed their experience in Trondheim and we hope to see you all again soon. The next Radiocarbon Conference will be held in 2021 in Israel, coordinated by Elisabetta Boaretto and hosted by the Weizmann Institute of Science.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee,

Marie-Josée Nadeau
