theoretical archaeology group
May 23rd to 25th 2008 at Columbia University in the City of New York
The Theoretical
Archaeology Group (TAG) has been organizing an annual meeting in the
UK since 1979, with the aim of promoting debate and discussion of
issues in archaeological theory.
TAG-NYC marks
the first time that TAG has come to the US. It will be running in
tandem with the British
TAG meetings, which will be held in Southampton
from the 15th to the 17th December 2008, and in Durham in December
2009.
TAG also has a Scandinavian offshoot, Nordic TAG, which was
held in aarhus,
Denmark in May 2007.
tag's ethos
TAG aims to be inclusive, informal, and low cost. It is run entirely by volunteers from the sponsoring institution and it welcomes and encourages participation from students and archaeologists working outside of academic settings.
As such there is no membership fee; participants pay a registration fee that covers the cost of the conference, the conference program and book of abstracts, and the reception on the opening night.
the
future
We are pleased to announce that a TAG conference will be held at Stanford University in 2009 and at Brown University in 2010
We are currently forming a National Committe for TAG in the US, and welcome inquiries about participating in TAG's future organization.
