Call for papers

The call for papers is now over

The CAA UK chapter is intended as a forum for research in the area of archaeological computing and quantitative methods. CAA UK meetings are intended to reflect the considerable breadth of computational activity within archaeological practice, whether in research, cultural resource management or private consultancy.

Twenty minute papers and poster presentations are invited on any subject within the broad sphere of archaeological computing. We intend to put together an interesting and varied programme and will be pleased to consider submissions on any related topic. The following suggested themes should act as a guide and starting point:

• The use of IT in relation to exhibition, display, interpretation, education, outreach and documentation within museums
• Data quality, standards and access: initiatives for improving the coverage and quality of cultural databases, and for widening access to electronic resources
• Spatial technologies and methods: computational approaches to space including simulation, spatial modelling, spatial analysis, and spatial theory in landscape and urban contexts
• Visualisation, research and the media: three-dimensional computing techniques for interpreting and presenting archaeological data
• Maritime archaeology and computing: geophysical, modelling, recording and interpretative approaches to maritime questions
• Innovative computing and statistical techniques in ceramics, lithic analysis, osteoarchaeology, dating and other archaeological sciences
