Abstract

The goal of DIG (Developing International Geoarchaeology) is to bring together a wide variety of international researchers, practitioners and students in what is a diverse and interdisciplinary field in order to facilitate discussion, stimulate research, and promote international scholarship in geoarchaeology.

This theme aims to continue to expand the DIG remit and audience, by running a series of sessions focused on developing geoarchaeological approaches internationally. The intent is to present work interesting to an international and interdisciplinary audience, to elicit discussion of geoarchaeological approaches, and to make new connections between archaeologists from different parts of the world. The theme is also associated with an international archaeological soil micromorphology workshop, run independently at UCD in the 2-3 days prior to WAC.

As part of the DIG theme at WAC, an exhibition of images will be held throughout the conference: 'Hidden Worlds - A Journey in Geoarchaeology' will be held in Room G105A.
