Submissions are requested for the 2012 Computer Applications and
Quantitative Methods in Archaeology to be hosted by the Archaeological
Computing Research Group in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of
Southampton. http://www.caa2012.org

The main aim of the CAA conference is to bring together researchers,
professionals and students with an interest in the field of computer
applications and quantitative methods in archaeology. We therefore welcome
submission of abstracts in English of up to 500 words that:
-              Describe original, technically excellent, critical, and/or
synthetic research

-              Focus on interesting computation and/ or quantitative methods
and theories applied in archaeology and related disciplines
You may choose to present your research via a long paper (20 minutes plus 10
minutes for questions and handover), short paper (10 minutes plus 5 minutes
for questions and handover), or a poster. You may submit your research to a
specific proposed session or to the general session. Poster sessions will
run on each day of the conference and posters will be linked in the
conference documents and website to the sessions to which they were
submitted. Please indicate your preference in your submission.
Provisionally the conference will be divided into six themes:

1.            Data Analysis, Modelling, Management, Integration and
Visualisation
2.            Field and Lab Recording
3.            Geospatial technologies
4.            Human Computer Interaction, Multimedia and Museums
5.            Simulating the Past
6.            Theoretical Approaches and Context of Archaeological
Computation
