UNE and Armidale
The University of New England (UNE) was established as a University
in the 1954, the first in Australia to be established outside
a
capital city. UNE is located in Armidale in the Northern Tablelands
of New South Wales, 535km north of Sydney and 466km south of
Brisbane
on the New England Highway. Armidale is a good centre from
which to visit a number of the State's National
Parks as well as north coast beaches and coastal cities, such
as Coffs Harbour, 191km to the east along the Waterfall Way.
Armidale has a range of cafes, restaurants, pubs and entertainment
facilities as well as a variety of accommodation. The main University
campus -- and the venue for AAA 2004 -- is 5km to the north-east
of the city centre. There is a regular bus service connecting the
city and UNE. Expect average temperatures to range from 12 to 27
Celsius in December, although nights may be cooler.

What's hot in Australian archaeology?
This one-day workshop will
cover current issues in Australian archaeology. While the session
may be of special interest to postgraduate students,
it is open to anyone interested in attending.The day is designed
as an opportunity to network with others prior to the conference,
and to get to know some of Australia's leading
researchers. The main aim of the day is to provide participants
with a current and broad overview of what's hot in Australian archaeology.
Such an overview should be a great help to anyone completing or
contemplating a thesis or research topic. An
invited speaker will lead the discussion on each topic. Emphasis
will be placed on short talks followed by open group discussion.
The day will be kept quite informal to promote opportunities for
discussion and questions. The workshop is offered subject to a
minimum of 20 participants.

To register
Please indicate your wish to participate in the

along with
your conference registration (remember to book an extra night's
accommodation).
Before you come
Could all those
attending the workshop please send an email to Mal Ridges, by the end of
November, confirming their intention to come?
We'd also like you to answer
the following two questions in your email so that we can
discuss these during the day:
1. What area of archaeology is your current research focused
upon? (briefly describe).
2. What do you think is the biggest research issue in Australian
archaeology at the moment?
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible, and
look forward to what should be a stimulating day of discussion.
