Join us this year for the 2024 AIMA Conference - Collectively Navigating Ocean Horizons. The conference will be held in Auckland New Zealand with a theme of Navigating Ocean Horizons: Collectively Building Combined Capacity, Interconnectivity, Advancing Research, Fostering Knowledge Exchange. The vastness of the Pacific holds immense potential for sustainable development, scientific discovery, global well-being through connecting peoples and their origins through underwater cultural heritage. As we sail into uncharted waters, it is crucial that we unite our efforts to both bridge gaps (geographical and knowledge based) to chart a course toward a more informed and resilient ocean future and management of Underwater Cultural Heritage. Let us gather under the banner of "Navigating Ocean Horizons," by committing to fostering collaboration, nurturing curiosity, and steering our collective efforts toward a healthier, more resilient ocean planet by exploring and understanding the wealth of our shared Underwater Cultural Heritage. Together, we can unlock the mysteries of the deep blue and ensure a legacy of collective stewardship for generations to come. Join us on this voyage of sharing, where waves of knowledge meet the shores of action! Details: The 2024 AIMA Conference will be held at the New Zealand Maritime Museum, Auckland on the 27th and 28th September. Prior to the conference there will be several special activities/events:
23–26 September: Workshops/tours. 26 September (evening): Welcome event. 27–28 September: AIMA Conference. Call for sessions is now open and will close on 28 April 2024. https://www.aima-underwater.org.au/app/events/events/view?event=collectively-navigating-ocean-horizons

Dr James Robinson and Dr Simon Bickler with the ASHA Banner at the recent 51st Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology International Conference held in Auckland, NZ, 8-12 April 2024. The poster at the conference was sponsored by the Australasian Society for Historical Archaeology (ASHA). Titled 'Digital Archaeology of New Zealand's Historical Landscapes' the poster showed how in Aotearoa New Zealand, researchers are integrating GIS mapping, archaeological surveys, excavation, databases, and virtual reconstructions with archival and oral history to unearth intricate narratives of diverse historical sites. Case studies presented include Tawhiti Rahi (Poor Knights Islands) the evolution of traditional pā (hill forts) into gunfighter pā during the early historic period, and an analysis of digitised newspaper records and archaeological records of pā and colonial redoubts, tracking the trajectories of the New Zealand Wars during the 1860s-1880s. Simon also gave a paper in the Digital Landscape Archaeology session. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02q2k9AtJB4b21qYeRxrPunm4TiNyRwRs2e6iBi8yqZsK2KCuMraLCJfJUsKF25pZCl&id=100064595743380

A "major lunar standstill", which takes place once every 18.6 years, when moonrise and moonset reach their farthest apart points along the horizon, will take place in January 2025. This will give archaeologists, astronomers and archaeoastronomers a rare chance to explore theories surrounding the event and the ancient people of Stonehenge. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/apr/15/once-in-a-generation-lunar-event-to-shed-light-on-stonehenges-links-to-the-moon 'It's plain elitist': anger at Greek plan for €5,000 private tours of Acropolis.

Excavation of a postulated early Medieval hermitage near Crowland, England, identified a site with a long and complex chronological sequence. During the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, a monumental henge was built, among the largest so far identified in the Fens of eastern England, probably later adapted into a timber circle. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00934690.2024.2332853 https://www.ncl.ac.uk/press/articles/latest/2024/04/crowland/ cheers, Moira MOIRA WHITE Curator, Humanities TŪHURA OTAGO MUSEUM moira.white@otagomuseum.nz Ph +64 |03| 479 3265 419 Great King Street, Dunedin 9016, New Zealand This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

North Queensland pottery "In 2017 we began excavating a large shell midden at Jiigurru located during the surveys. To our amazement, around 40cm below the surface we began to find pieces of pottery among the shells in the excavation. We knew this was a big deal. We carefully bagged each piece of pottery and mapped where each sherd came from, and kept digging."

Not quite archaeology Nuts and Bolts: Seven Small Inventions That Changed the World in a Big Way - a different approach to technological history. Agrawal is an engineer and avoids a male western view which often dominates stories of technology, indeed she celebrates where it is not. - And the archaeological evidence for some of the technologies she covers does get its due space.
