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.

Possible Session Topics Include:
• Climate Change and Archaeology
• Political Change and Archaeology
• Human Ecology and Archaeology
• Changing Role of Gender
• Changing Theory of Archaeology
• New Technologies and Archaeology
• Social Change and Archaeology
• Archaeology and Unique Environment

Please Note: these are presented as suggestions – other themes will also be considered.
Abstracts of approximately 150 words should be sent via email to:
chacmool2011@gmail.com
Further information will soon be available:
The Deadline for Abstract Submissions is March 15th, 2011

NWAC 2011

The conference is being held April 21-23, in Moscow, Idaho.

If you’ve never been/heard of it: Traditionally, a lot of the focus is on northwest topics (NOT northwest coast only!). However, there is usually a lot of methods-based research, and plenty of international researchers. This year’s program is not ready yet, but to get an idea of the type of workshops, presentations, meetings, etc that usually take place, have a look at last year’s program.
