The XXXVIII Annual CAA Conference will be held in Granada, Spain, from 
April 6 to 9, 2010 and is expected to bring together archaeologist, 
computer scientist and mathematicians to explore and exchange knowledge 
in order to enhance our understanding of the past. Classical disciplines 
like archaeology, anthropology or geography, and more modern ones like 
computer science, geomatics or museology exchange their most recent 
advances during the conference.
CAA 2010 is inspired in the concept “Fusion of Cultures” that identifies 
the scope of the conference and the spirit of the historical city of 
Granada. The aim of the conference is to create an collaborative 
atmosphere among all disciplines, by participating via papers, posters, 
round tables, workshops, short papers and a novel virtual theatre 
non-stop show.



CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS.
----------------------------

Participants are invited to submit sessions and papers of how the usage 
of different disciplines help us in the study of the past. Those 
researchers interested in proposing a session theme, should before 
November 15th 2009:

- Provide a session description of 300 to 500 words, describing 
precisely the scope and aim of the session.
- Define the topic, explain its importance and the features of the 
research community that might be interested in contributing to this 
session.
A session will consist of one 90-minute block of time. It consists of 
20'-30' presentations and should include time for debate and discussion 
as well as an introduction and a wrap-up. In case there were more than 
four papers accepted per session, new session slots will be scheduled 
whenever possible.

After the call for sessions finishes, the scientific committee will 
proposed extra sessions to cover another interesting topics that may 
have not been covered by the proposals.

Session proposers may send one or more extended abstracts of papers to 
be presented, but always after the final list of sessions is published. 
All session proposals will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee for 
their quality and relevance. Once a proposal has been accepted, it is 
placed on the conference web page, and an invitation is issued for paper 
abstracts to be submitted to this session.
The session organizer will be responsible for scheduling the order of 
presentations and presiding over the session.

CALL FOR ROUND TABLES PROPOSALS
------------------------------
-

Round tables are special sessions where selected researchers propose and 
discuss in a more dynamic manner a very specific subject. Attendees to 
round tables will be able to participate and share their knowledge and 
opinion to enrich the final conclusions of each round table.

Round table organizers should provide before December 31st 2009:

from at least three different countries.
The round table organizer must ensure that the panel members agree to 
attend the conference and take part in the round table. The round table 
organizer is the chairperson and acts as moderator. A time slot of 90 
minutes will be allocated to each round table discussion. All round 
table proposals will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee for their 
quality and relevance.

If you are interested in submitting a round table proposal, please
