Conference announcement and Call for Papers
 
Australasian Society for Historical Archaeology and Australian Institute
for Maritime Archaeology.
combined Annual Conference
 
22nd to 25th October 1995, at the CSIRO Complex, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
 
This year ASHA and AIMA will hold a joint conference. Sessions and papers
are called for that cross the boundaries of the two disciplines.
Participants are asked to present papers on a wide range of themes with
relevance to both areas of archaeology.  Sessions will probably be arranged
on the following themes:
cultural landscapes
maritime industries
databases and registers
comparative artefact studies
material culture and institutions of control
ethnicity in the archaeological record
 
The committee wishes to orient the conference towards critical reflection
of maritime archaeology, historical archaeology and cultural resource
management, incorporating a wide range of thematic issues and theoretical
approaches. What is the relationship between maritime and historical
archaeology? How often do our interests interlink? How can we best utilise
the different data we collect? The committee seeks contributions from both
maritime and historic archaeologists on these themes.
