Call for Papers & Posters

The deadline for the Call for Papers/Posters submissions is February 22nd, 2023.

The Call for Papers is for the themed sessions and a general session. More information on the themed sessions can be found here. https://trac2023exeter.wordpress.com/sessions/

For the general session, we encourage papers engaging with, but not limited to:

New materialities in the digital age

(Dis)connectivities in human/environment/object relationships

Unboxing dichotomies and other non-binary approaches

Broader ideas of change which could be applied to material culture, agency, identities, or even techniques and approaches in archaeology

Please indicate which theme session you wish to contribute to, or if you are submitting to the general session. Any papers that are not accepted for a themed session will be considered for the general session (organised by the Local Organising Committee).

Paper submissions for TRAC sessions should include:

Title of the theme session

Title of the paper Name(s) of the speaker(s)

All submissions should be sent by email ONLY to the TRAC 2023 Exeter Local Organising Committee at trac2023exeter@gmail.com and not to individual session organisers so that paper submissions can undergo blind peer review. Participants will be informed of the decision by 1st March.
