The main conference will be divided into two sessions. Session I will consider developments in the archaeology of different periods from prehistory through the Islamic period, with 20-minute presentations delivered by prominent scholars followed by a discussion. Structured similarly, Session II will address developments in theory, method, and practice common to various disciplines and sub-disciplines in the archaeology of Iberia. This session will cover issues such as the application of archaeological theory, foreign schools and archaeology work in Spain and Portugal, GIS and digital technologies, and intersections between archaeology and history, and cultural heritage management. Invited speakers include prominent scholars from Europe and the United States. Graduate students and emerging scholars are encouraged to submit posters as well as participate in the seminars and discussions.
