NEW ZeALAND ARCHAEOLOGY WEEK APRIL/May 2018

The dates for the 2018 New Zealand Archaeology Week is 28 April to 6 May 2018.

The basic objective of New Zealand Archaeology Week is to increase public awareness of archaeology in New Zealand. Archaeology Week will promote the work of New Zealand archaeologists both at home and abroad as well as promote the importance of protecting our archaeological heritage.

As per the event that was held in April 2017 New Zealand Archaeology Week will work on a local level with numerous events happening around the country during the same week.  The function of NZAA during the week will be to co-ordinate and promote events during Archaeology Week but not to run the events themselves.

The types of events that would be appropriate for New Zealand Archaeological Week could include special exhibition at a museum, public talks on archaeological work in New Zealand or abroad, historic walks promoting the archaeology of a town, archaeological site visits and/or visits to an excavation. 

NZAA will break the country into areas and have co-ordinator in each area so that facilitating Archaeology Week is not falling on one person and there is a local contact for people/groups/organisations wishing to set up an event.  We are looking for area coordinators so please contact me if you are interested.

Please contact me at archaeologyweek@nzarchaeology.org for more information or to discuss possible events and/or interest in the proposed New Zealand Archaeological Week 2017. 

Thank you

Kathryn Hurren

NZAA New Zealand Archaeology Week Coordinator
