Call for Papers / Conference Program Outline

ASHA 2013 Conference
Archaeological Narratives, In and Of the City.

The 2013 ASHA conference is being held at the Former Kings School in Parramatta,
NSW on the 5th and 6th of October 2013. Parramatta is Australia’s second oldest city, part
of the World Heritage Convict Sites Listing and home to a significant Aboriginal and
Historical archaeological resource which is increasingly threatened by fast paced
urban development.

The conference theme is designed to highlight the archaeology of urban places and
returns the conference to its roots with a focus on all aspects of archaeological
practice. We particularly encourage Sessions and Papers that consider the results of
archaeological investigations of urban sites and what these narratives can tell us
about the development of the environments we live in, including people, places, and
technology.

Papers are invited for the following sessions:
