ASHA NEWS: Welcome to 2018

Welcome to 2018 and a new year of the ASHA News blog! We at ASHA hope that you have had a relaxing holiday break and are looking forward to an exciting new year.

Here at the ASHA Blog, we will be continuing to provide our members and other interested parties with information about what is going on in the world of historical archaeology in Australia, New Zealand and the wider Pacific region. This means more posts about research, excavations, upcoming events and Artefacts of the Month!

You can sign up to the RSS feed, found on the left side of the blog, in order to receive an email update each time a new blog post hits the site. And remember: as part of the ASHA membership, you also receive a quarterly blog summary email, so sign up as a member HERE.

We are very proud to say that over the last year the blog has gained many viewers. Previous to the revamp in January 2017 the blog averaged 175 views per month. By the second half of 2017 the ASHA News blog was averaging of 1,200 views per month! This year we are looking to recieve more submissions from historical archaeologists all over Australasia, so if you’d like some free exposure for your excavation or research, if you’ve got an upcoming event you’d like to advertise, or if you simply want to show off that wonderfully interesting artefact you’ve excavated please send an email to [email protected] or to your local regional representitive (whose email addresses can be found HERE).

We’re excited to see what happens in Australasian Historical Archaeology in 2018, thanks for joining us!
