CALL FOR PAPERS: ARCHAEOLOGY AND PHOTOGRAPHY
Panel at the RAI Conference on Anthropology and Photography
British Museum, 29-31 May 2014

Next May, the Royal Anthropological Institute is holding a conference on Anthropology and Photography in London at the British Museum. I'm convening a panel on Archaeology and Photography with Lesley McFadyen (University of London, Birkbeck). The session outline is as follows:

Photography has been a central element of archaeological method and practice since the late 19th century, but archaeological photography has been relatively little explored, especially when compared with visual anthropology. This panel brings together new studies of archaeological photography: both of historical photographs in archives, and of contemporary practice. Particular themes in the study of archaeological photography may include, but are not limited to, time, materials, fieldwork, representation, and documentation and the profilmic.

Paper proposals are invited, and are due by 8 January 2014.
