Call for papers &workshop 5th International Conference on Remote Sensing in Archaeology

CALL FOR PAPERS and CALL FOR WORKSHOPS --- 5th International
Conference on Remote Sensing in Archaeology : THE AGE OF SENSING
October 13-15, 2014

Duke University--Durham, North Carolina

In the past, the International Conference on Remote Sensing in
Archaeology has been hosted in China, India, and Italy. For the first
time in it's history, the conference will take place in the United
States at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. The conference
theme will be "The Age of Sensing."

The 1990s will be remembered in the history of archaeology as the age of
GIS. Now, we are ready to embrace new methods of recording,
interpreting, conceptualizing and communicating archaeological data and
relationships across the passage of time. In the next few years, we will
have the opportunity to blend the physical world with a sensory-rich
'virtual' world where archaeologists can naturally and intuitively
manipulate, navigate and remotely share interpretations and case
studies. Our understanding of archaeology will be taken to a new level,
enhancing our capacity to develop interpretations and to present them to
fellow specialists and to the general public as simulated scenarios in
4D.

Confirmed keynote speakers include: William Limp (University of
Arkansas), Wolfgang Neubauer (University of Vienna), and Frank M.R.
Vermeulen (Ghent University, Belgium)

THIS CONFERENCE SEEKS TO EXPLORE THE AGE OF SENSING, BROADLY DEFINED.
