Dear AQUA colleagues,

Hope that you're all well and looking forward to a wonderful weekend.

This is the first circular for the Adelaide AQUA meeting.  In the coming weeks there will be more information appearing on the AQUA website. For now the Organising Committee would like to ask invite you to complete a short survey<https://forms.gle/GrJ1mZBa8NX5FXo96> (5 min) to indicate your likely level of participation and preferences (even if you don't intend to come).   The full URL to the survey is here just in case:  https://forms.gle/GrJ1mZBa8NX5FXo96

If you'd like to propose a session at the conference, please get in contact with Dr Rachel Rudd at the University of Queensland (r.rudd at uq.edu.au<mailto:r.rudd at uq.edu.au>) in the next couple of  weeks.   We particularly welcome sessions from individuals and groups who have never organised a session before.

There is not long left if you're interested in presenting to the joint AQUA and Australian Archaeological Association session (abstracts due 22nd July).    Details are at the bottom of this email

Below is a flier with additional details.  Please spread the word (including the flier).  The next correspondence will likely be an announcement about a travel assistance scheme for students.

Previous announcement about the joint AQUA/AAA session...

Dear Quaternarists,

AQUA are pleased to be undertaking a joint session with the Australian Archaeological Association, who are hosting their annual conference in Darwin at the same time as the AQUA meeting in December, 2022.
The joint session "Human-Environment Interactions: A Joint Session for the Australian Archaeological Association and Australasian Quaternary Association" will be run simultaneously in Darwin and Adelaide with speakers joining on both ends (and transmitted to the other via Zoom/Teams). The session aims to share knowledge between the archaeological and social sciences and allow archaeologists working in the Quaternary sciences, who attend AAA, to participate with the AQUA conference.

Abstract submission for AAA is now live and AQUA attendees who wish to submit to this session should submit via the AAA webpage by 22 July, 2022.

Please indicate at the end of your abstract text that you are an AQUA attendee. If you have an issues or queries please contact Caroline (caroline.mather at uwa.edu.au<mailto:caroline.mather at uwa.edu.au>). A full description of the joint session theme is provided at the end of the email.

The AQUA conference organisers are also calling for proposals for special sessions.   We particularly encourage proposals from people (preferably a small group) who are new to organising such sessions and for themes that are novel.  Please send your proposal consisting of a title and a 2-3 sentence description to Dr Rachel Rudd, University of Queensland by Friday 16th July (r.rudd at uq.edu.au<mailto:r.rudd at uq.edu.au>)


Human-Environment Interactions: A Joint Session for the Australian Archaeological Association and Australasian Quaternary Association
The Australasian region has an expansive history of human occupation and migration over the last 65,000 years. The evolution of climate, environment and landscape over time had the potential to profoundly influence human habitation and social interaction. Notably, there has been extreme climatic and geographic change since the Last Glacial Maximum, after which sea levels rose ~130 m and transformed the landscape. So too, modification of the environment by humans is apparent in many locations, including petroglyphs, evidence of large-scale aquaculture, and charcoal deposits from traditional burning practices. The degree to which human practices may have altered the environment is still being uncovered, although significant changes in land use since European colonisation in Australasia are readily apparent in environmental records. We welcome presentations that discuss the palaeoenvironmental frame of human occupation and activities and highlight the varying interactions between peoples and their environment - including the effects of contact between cultures. This is the first joint session between the Australian Archaeological Association and Australasian Quaternary Association aiming to share knowledge between the archaeological and social sciences with the environmental-focussed Quaternary sciences.

Convenors: Patrick Morrison (AAA) and Caroline Mather (AQUA), The University of Western Australia





With best wishes,
John.
