 Climates of Change:
The Shifting Environments of Archaeology

University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
November 9th to 13th, 2011
 
Call for Presentation Abstracts - DEADLINE EXTENDED
 
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, technological, 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 must endeavour to evaluate these instances of change to more fully understand our own interactions with the past.

Possible Session Topics Include:

  • Climate Change and Archaeology
  • Changing Theory of Archaeology
  • Political Change and Archaeology
  • New Technologies and Archaeology
  • Human Ecology and Archaeology
  • Social Change and Archaeology
  • Changing Role of Gender
  • Archaeology and Unique Environments

Please Note: these are presented as suggestions – other themes will also be considered. 

Abstracts of approximately 150 words should be sent via email to:
