Call for papers: CAA 2014 Paris (22-25 April)

Post date: Sep 20, 2013 11:12:36 PM

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I would like to invite you to the 42nd Annual Conference of Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA), held at Institut d’Art et d’Archéologie, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Paris, on 22–25 April 2014.

CAA (http://caaconference.org/) is an international and multidisciplinary academic community in archaeology, heritage management, computer science, informatics, and adjoining fields of research. An annual conference usually has plenary sessions, parallel sessions, poster sessions, hands-on workshops, roundtables, and scientific excursions, with hundreds of participants.

CAA welcomes papers or posters related to (but not limited to) the following topics:

• Field and laboratory data recording
• Historiography
• Ontologies and standards
• Internet and archaeology
• 3D Archaeology
• AIS (Archaeological Information Systems)
• GIS & spatial analysis
• Mathematics and statistics in archaeology
• Open source
• Computing in epigraphy and history
• Multi-agent systems and complex system modelling
• Virtual archaeology

GIS, remote sensing, and spatio-temporal analysis have been one of major topics of CAA for decades, as they has in geoarchaeology.

Therefore, I recommend this conference to my friends and colleagues in the IAG Working Group on Geoarchaeology.

Abstracts are due 31 October 2013.

Please see the conference website (http://caa2014.sciencesconf.org/) for the detail.

I wish this announcement is of your interest, and hope to see you in Paris next April.

Best regards,

Yasuhisa Kondo
