CAA-UK

Interested in hosting a community-led archaeology conference? We’re inviting expressions of interest to host CAA-UK 2026 across the UK & British Isles. 🗓 28 Feb deadline 🔗 uk.caa-international.org/2026/01/14/caa…

Following yesterdays AGM vote, we’ll be retiring this X account. Thank you to everyone who has followed and engaged with #CAAUK over the years! You can still find us on Bluesky and Facebook, and keep an eye out for our LinkedIn soon.

Congratulations to Santiago Tuflas-Corzén, winner of the #CAAUK2025 Masters Award 🏆 for his paper “Settlement Hierarchy, Coalescence, and Centrality in Iron Age Societies of North-Western Iberia”!

That’s a wrap on #CAAUK2025! A huge thanks to the Cambridge team for organising & hosting such a fantastic two days of digital archaeology — it's been a brilliant conference. Safe travels home, and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year! #CAAUK #DigitalArchaeology

Now on the final talk of Session 4 at #CAAUK2025! Our very own Alphaeus Lien-Talks is closing the session with work on AI for digitising archaeological archives and building robust, accessible datasets for future research. #DigitalArchaeology #CAAUK

We’ve just had two great papers in #CAAUK2025 Session 4 — Robert Foley on PyLithics and computer-vision for lithic analysis, and Victor Yan Kin Lee on multi-objective clustering for archaeological time series.

A fantastic talk from Sarah Middle with the ADS on digital twins and the ARTEMIS project — exciting to see how digital twins can reshape archaeological workflows. Next up: Alfredo Cortell-Nicolau with 'Sinumorph', an R package for simulating diachronic shape evolution. #CAAUK2025

Session 4 at #CAAUK2025 is underway! We're exploring new digital horizons — First up, Dushyant Naresh on communicating geophysics through interactive storytelling! #DigitalArchaeology #CAAUK #DigitalStorytelling

That’s Session 3 at #CAAUK2025! A great set of papers showing how modelling and simulation can illuminate political landscapes, cultural dispersal, inequality, morphology, agriculture, and rock-art networks. Thanks for the lively discussion — now time for coffee! ☕ #CAAUK

We’re into the final stretch of Session 3 at #CAAUK2025! We’ve heard Adrian Timpson & Simon Carrignon on inequality modelling and Doudou Cao on body-size change in ancient China — now Anastasia Nikulina is presenting her work on modelling Mediterranean agriculture. #CAAUK

Midway through Session 3 at #CAAUK2025! We’ve now heard Eduardo Herrera Malatesta on modelling Muisca geopolitical dynamics and Alexes Mes on modelling cultural trait dispersal 📊 Next up, Modelling Change in Inequality! #DigitalArchaeology #CAAUK #ComputationalArchaeology

Session 3 begins! We’re diving into Modelling the Past with Santiago Tuflas-Corzén’s paper on settlement hierarchy, coalescence & centrality in Iron Age NW Iberia — kicking off a full session of computational modelling. #CAAUK2025 #DigitalArchaeology #Archaeology

Good Morning - it's Day 2 of #CAAUK2025! Today we’re diving into modelling the past and exploring new digital horizons — grab a coffee and join us for Session 3 at 09:30 ☕ #DigitalArchaeology #CAAUK

Congratulations to Ben Allen, winner of the Story Through an Image prize at #CAAUK2025 for their stunning images created as part of the Cambridge competition! Brilliant work 🎉 #DigitalArchaeology #Archaeology #CAAUK

Huge thanks to Lawrence Shaw for his amazing leadership as Chair — we wish you all the best 🙏 At the same time, we’re excited to welcome Alfie Liens-Talks as our new Chair, with Kathryn Murphy replacing him as our new Webmaster!

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the #CAAUK AGM this evening — a great way to round off an excellent first day of talks, discussion, and digital archaeology at #CAAUK2025 💻 Now it’s time to continue the conversations at the drinks reception — enjoy! 🍷

And that’s Session 2! A brilliant showcase of exciting perspectives on collaboration, DIY heritage, accessibility of data, and the future of digital engagement in heritage work. Don't forget to stay for the AGM immediately after! #CAAUK2025 #DigitalArchaeology

We’re on the final talk of Session 2 at #CAAUK2025! So far we’ve heard Kasi Zoldoske on digital stained-glass conservation and Matthew Morton on game jams, and now Katrine Haydock is closing the session with archaeogaming and pedagogy🎮 #DigitalArchaeology #CAA #DigitalHeritage

Midway through Session 2 at #CAAUK2025! We’ve heard Orhun Ugur on DIY Heritage, Abigail Goodland on audio-tactile accessibility, and now Meng Meng is showing how 3D animation can bring artefacts to life. A fantastic run of talks so far! 🖥️ #DigitalHeritage #DigitalArchaeology

Session 2 is kicking off at #CAAUK2025! We’re looking at new ways of working with heritage — community-led documentation, digital stewardship, citizen science, and innovative tools for managing collections & sites. #DigitalArchaeology #CAAUK #Archaeology
