The practice of archaeology has broad implications spanning academia, politics and policies, education, art, historical understandings, and grand narratives. Archaeology draws from methods and knowledge generated by an array of disciplines, including linguistics, STEM, museum studies, and Indigenous and various ancestral and community knowledges and belongings. Archaeology also relies on public funding and on contemporary socio-political issues that drive our work. This year, we seek to broaden representation of interests and expertise to think about archaeology, the responsibilities and impacts of archaeological research, interpretation, and heritage management from outside the discipline, demonstrating the reaches of archaeological work.
This approach invites us to acknowledge, address, celebrate, and problematize archaeology as a generative process that unites us. We invite you to think about potential futures, making good on past initiatives, and making new promises within and beyond the discipline.
We invite scholars and research professionals, graduate and undergraduate students from across academia and public and private sectors to join us, sharing and highlighting the impacts of a broadly imagined discipline.
Submit Your Work!
Interested in sharing your research, artwork, or ideas? We’re accepting submissions in three formats:
- Lightning Talks: 5 minutes, 3-5 slides, plus 2 minutes of Q&A.
- Posters: Open to undergrad students and new participants to showcase their work.
- Art: Creative works—poetry, paintings, displays, and more—are welcome!
Deadline for abstract submissions:
February 17th, 2025, at 11:59 PM
