FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR PAPERS
The Australasian Institute for Maritime Archaeology (AIMA)
The Australasian Society for Historical Archaeology (ASHA)
The Australian Archaeological Association (AAA)
Combined Annual Conference 2002
Land and Sea: Common ground and contemporary issues for Australasian
archaeology
This first combined conference between the three major Australasian
archaeology associations AIMA (Australasian Institute for Maritime
Archaeology), ASHA (Australasian Society for Historic Archaeology) and
AAA (Australian Archaeological Association) is to be held in Townsville
from 17 November to 22 November 2002.
This will provide participants with the first 'formal' opportunity to
discuss common themes and issues in the world of Australasian
archaeology and to consider future directions. It will also be a rare
opportunity to become familiar with new and innovative research from the
diverse fields of interest of the Australasian archaeological
community.
The Conference will be jointly hosted by the Maritime Museum of
Townsville and the School of Archaeology, Anthropology and Sociology at
James Cook University.
The venue is the Southbank Hotel and Convention Centre in Palmer
Street, South Townsville (www.southbankhotel.com.au).
The general format of the conference will be as follows:
Morning:
'Common Ground' (daily joint sessions) with a combination of invited
papers and / or panel discussions,
addressing one of these daily themes:
* Archaeology and Heritage Practices
* Public Perceptions, Promotion, and Interpretation
* Management and Sharing of Data and Resources
* Teaching and Training
Late morning and afternoons:
'Contemporary Issues' - three concurrent sessions, each 'sponsored' by
one of the societies, but open to any speaker or participant. The
sessions will reflect a wide range of innovative research programmes and
current regional studies from all of the sub-disciplines of Australasian
archaeology. Papers are invited for all of these sessions, with
preference given to presentations that cross boundaries between the
sub-disciplines and/or explore interesting directions for the future of
Australasian archaeology. Papers presented in the afternoon sessions
that address also the main themes of the conference are especially
welcome. Consideration will also be given to proposals for other
sessions.
