There are still a two spots available for paper presentations at the NZAA conference for Saturday June 24. Please email the papers coordinator , at papers@nzarchaeology.org  In addition any students who wish to present a 10 minute paper can be accomodated. The two spaces are for Saturday morning, and it would be good, although not essential, if they had something to do with landscape archaeology.

Classical World New Zealand - Massey University: "Classical World New Zealand demonstrates the modern world’s ongoing dialogue with ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt and highlights New Zealand’s contribution to this conversation. The culture of the classical world remains a rich vein of creativity tapped by countless living artists. Their art in turn helps us to connect to the ancient world.

Our project, based at Massey University, focuses on the distinctive contributions of New Zealand-based artists, actors, theatre directors, filmmakers, musicians, writers and scholars."
