Archaeology: a global profession
19 to 21 April 2017, University of Newcastle
Our 2017 conference will provide an opportunity for heritage professionals to discuss, consider and learn about archaeological practice on a world stage. For CIfA2017 we have identified three broad themes (professionalism, protection, discovery) and will be looking for proposals for half-day sessions within a traditional paper format, discussion / panel seminars or CPD workshops. The themes are simple, broad and flexible, and should be able to accommodate an exciting programme.
Archaeology should be without borders, and professional archaeology must be without borders. We hope the conference will provide an opportunity to report on some of the progress made and to explore both the opportunities and difficulties of professionalising across borders.
We are keen to engage some truly ambitious sessions and encourage a genuinely international discussion; the conference may have the opportunity to support some keynote speakers from across the world – if you are interested in getting involved, please get in touch or simply propose a session. You can find more information and a proposal form on the conference page
Make sure you keep up to date with the conference news via our eBulletin and on Twitter #CIfA2017.
