Australian Archaeological Association Conference 2004

You are invited to take part in AAA 2004...

The theme of the conference will be Networks and Narratives. Social networks are construed by some as the very basis of human cultural interaction and some archaeologists have attempted to identify the process of their emergence and maintenance in the archaeological record. How do archaeologists go about recognising them in the past, and how have they been maintained? What is the role of narratives in maintaining them, and how do archaeologists hope to deal with the evanescence of spoken stories?

At another level, we can also discuss the role of networks in the business of doing archaeology, and the role of narratives about the past in teaching, researching and publicising archaeology.

AAA 2004 will be hosted by the Division of Archaeology and Palaeoanthropology at the University of New England in Armidale, New South Wales.
