The primary objective of the workshop is to forge a lively and respectful dialogue on aspects of method and theory that cut across the field’s diverse disciplinary locations. There is a widely perceived need for a forum to engage in conversations and projects of comparison across the different disciplinary homes of archaeology. “Method, Practice, and the Nature of Archaeological Knowledge,” will be the centerpiece of a series of explorations to be held in a variety of formats throughout the year. Our goal will be to understand the mutual shaping of methods and interpretation from a wide array of perspectives. All interested participants are encouraged to attend.
