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.
