CAA Conference, Perth 2013
The Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) Annual Conference is the major international event in the calendar for scholars, specialists and experts in the field of informatic applications to archaeological, historical and cultural heritage scholarship.
The 41st Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology ACROSS SPACE AND TIME Conference was held for the first time in Australia in 2013, to explore a multitude of topics to showcase ground-breaking technologies and best practice from various archaeological, historical, cultural heritage and informatics disciplines, with a variety of case studies from all over the world. Some of these topics were specific to the Australasian region and included the application of computer science to cultural heritage management, historical archaeology, landscape archaeology, maritime archaeology, and rock art.
