Climates of Change:The Shifting Environments of Archaeology
University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
November 9th to 13th, 2011
Call for Presentation Abstracts
The focus of the Conference is the study of change, and changing how we study. Archaeological practice is constantly faced with changing environments, whether they be climatic, political, theoretical, ecological,echnological, or social, just to name a few. How archaeologists respond and react to these shifts in the present
and in the past is, in itself, as important as understanding the cultural phenomena themselves. We mustendeavour to evaluate these instances of change to more fully understand our own interactions with the past.
