CAA International (Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology) is the premier international conference on digital applications in archaeology, running continuously and publishing proceedings every year since 1973.
CAA Australia Inc. (registered association in NSW) was established in order to run the 2013 CAA International conference in Perth (see below). However, it has been dormant since then. It is being reinvigorated in 2017 with the help of new committee members, an active advisory group, a program of meetings, an information portal and a social media strategy.
