Over the last forty years CAA has grown from an annual event at the University of Birmingham to a national and now worldwide conference attracting over 300 participants every year. It also lived through major changes in the role computing played in academia and people’s personal lives, through the availability of computers at academic institutions, the introduction of GIS, the affordability of computers for private use, the rise of user friendly operating systems, and last but not least the emergence and extreme impact of the world wide web. These events have strongly influenced the way archaeologists have used computing and quantitative techniques, and no organisation is a better reflection of this than CAA. The ‘Personal histories of CAA’ session aimed to make the current generation of archaeologists aware of such dramatic shifts, and to provide personal perspectives for charting fascinating future research avenues.

The conference is being hosted by L-P:Archaeology, and looks like a fantastic event, with some challenging themes in the CfP.

CAAUK 2013 will be held at L–P:Archaeology head office, The Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, London on the 22nd – 23rd February 2013.

The CfP deadline is the 3rd December 2012.
