UBC’s annual Archaeology Day Symposium will take place Saturday, March 19th 2022 in the Anthropology Sociology Building (in person) as well as virtually through zoom. The topic for the workshop this year will be “Living together”.  Denied each other’s company for the good of our collective health, the global pandemic has reminded us that living together is both a threat and a precious gift. We will present papers that broadly explore this theme, ranging from talks exploring how material culture has been central to how we live together as a hyper-social species to those that explore how Indigenous and academic communities can best ‘live together’.

Archaeology Day is free to attend, we just ask that you register in advance. A secure zoom link will be emailed to all registrants in advance. We are limiting the in-person attendance to 50 people* and have already reached our quota; snack, coffee/tea and lunch will be provided free of charge. Please contact Alison Wylie (alison.wylie@ubc.ca) if you have any questions about the symposium.

* Please note: In person attendees will have to wear non-medical masks in all indoor spaces, and provide proof of vaccination upon entry.
