EAA - CAA Memorandum of Understanding



On 5 September 2018, at the Annual Meeting of the EAA in Barcelona, the European Association of Archaeologists and the Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology International (CAA International), represented by their presidents, signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the two organisations in order to foster collaboration.

CAA (https://caa-international.org) is an international organisation bringing together archaeologists, mathematicians and computer scientists. Its aims are to encourage communication between these disciplines, to provide a survey of present work in the field and to stimulate discussion and future progress. Membership is open to anyone on payment of a nominal fee. CAA organises an annual international scientific conference, where practitioners can present their work in paper sessions, and discuss developments with colleagues from all over the world in round tables and workshops. The conference sessions cover a wide range of topics, including data acquisition and recording, conceptual modelling, semantic technologies, data analysis, data management, digital 3D object reconstruction, image visualisation in archaeology, geophysics and GIS.
