Title & Content

Title:
Current Research in the Americas. Interdisciplinary Research between Past and Present
Content:
Organised by EAA4Am Community for the third consecutive year, this regular session will continue showcasing the vitality and diversity of ongoing archaeological, heritage and ethnohistorical research in the Americas. These past experiences were very successful and requested the need to have common spaces to share current research and create new synergies between scholars and institutions.
The 2024 Annual Meeting motto is ‘Persisting with Change’, a statement about the links between past and present. In this session, we will embrace this motto offering insights from past or ongoing projects in the Americas, with a special interest in interdisciplinary approaches. We invite researchers who investigate subjects related to archaeology, ethnohistory or heritage to submit their contributions. We want to create an open and welcoming space where Americanists can share their work in an inclusive, diverse, and engaging environment. This session will allow us to discover new projects, discuss current theoretical debates and methodological approaches, and enhance collaborations with fellows. Furthermore, this session will help to raise visibility of American Archaeology in European contexts and promote the EAA Community for the Archaeology of the Americas. No restrictions of themes or chronological periods are settled. Also, we are equally interested in applicants working anywhere in Mesoamerica, South America, and North America, including circumpolar regions.
