What is the CAA

CAA is an international organisation bringing together archaeologists, mathematicians and computer scientists. Its aims are to encourage communication between these disciplines, to provide a survey of present work in the field and to stimulate discussion and future progress. To become a member you just need to pay a fee.

A brief History of CAA

The CAA conference started as a small annual conference at the University of Birmingham in 1973, followed for nearly twenty years by annually organised conferences at British universities. Conference attendance increased steadily over the years, with delegates from many European countries, North and South America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

At the first conference held outside the UK, at the University of Aarhus in Denmark in 1992, a policy was adopted of meeting in a different country each year. At the same time it was decided that national chapters could be established. CAAUK was the first local organisation in 1995, since followed by CAANl, CAAEs, CAAIt, CAAPortugal and CAAIndia.

Conference proceedings have been published since 1973.
