happening around your area.
I would like to thank everyone who is either
acting as an area coordinator or putting on an event as part of the week. Without your willingness to be a part of New

First Greek Art Has Been Discovered Inside A Cave On Crete And Dates Back To The Last Ice Age: "However, once archaeologists were able to look at the oldest layers inside the cave, they noticed that the petroglyphs showed a type of dwarf deer known as Candiacervus ropalophorus, which would have roamed Crete 21,500 years ago and became extinct at least 11,000 years ago."

NZAA / AAA conference 2018 Call for Sessions Proposals:
The combined NZAA / AAA 2018 Conference will be held at the University of Auckland on 28–30 November. The conference theme is Trans-Tasman Dialogues. Despite some striking differences between the archaeological record of New Zealand and Australia, we share the same historical roots as well as some key goals and priorities: the desire to make archaeology an inclusive and collaborative practice between archaeologists, indigenous communities and other stakeholders, to raise public awareness about the richness of the human past in the region, to promote and foster cutting-edge research throughout Oceania and to lobby relevant authorities for the recognition and protection of cultural heritage.
Session proposals should be emailed to papers@nzarchaeology.org

Royal Society Te Apārangi - Science of nature without culture:
Ann Salmond |: "Far from protecting the scientific project from bias and political interest, they are trying to uphold a status quo based on ethnocentric bias and outmoded dualisms (and the power relations embedded in them), at a time when new ways of thinking about socio-environmental challenges are urgently needed."

Successful applicants for the 2018 Walton Fund announced - NZ Archaeological Association:
"The NZAA Council is pleased to announce that the successful applicants from the Walton Fund for 2018.
Tristan Wadsworth and Jessie Garland will carry out a survey of the southern shores of the Catlins Estuary, attempting to update as many of the 31 sites recorded here as possible, as well as recording any new sites that are found. Due to its significance as one of the few excavated sites in the area, the Mānuka Point/Pounawea site (H47/1), which is located on the northern shores of the estuary, will also be included.
Danielle Trilford will, in conjunction with Hal Hovell (Ngāti Porou), survey the area between Te Araroa and the East Cape, where very little site recording has been carried out previously, but which appears to be a highly significant archaeological landscape. The survey will draw on Hal’s knowledge of the area as well as LiDAR data, early survey maps and existing literature about the area. The results of the survey will be reported back to Matahi o te Tau Marae, and the results of both surveys will be reported in Archaeology in New Zealand.
The applicants are to be commended on the calibre of their applications and NZAA Council wishes them well for their field work."
