On September 22-23, we will be hosting the first-ever Conference on Public Archaeology! This meeting is intended to provide a dedicated space for public-minded archaeologists, cultural heritage practitioners, and interested individuals to share their experiences and expertise. Over two days, we plan to host a series of workshops, panels, roundtables, and special events geared toward addressing some of the most pressing issues in the discipline. In addition, the conference will also feature a special keynote address by Dr. Barbara J. Little, Adjunct Professor of Anthropology at the University of Maryland, College Park: "Public Archaeology: Where Are We Going?"
Registration for the Conference on Public Archaeology is now live. All are welcome and encouraged to attend! |
