Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) is a global organization bringing together archaeologists, mathematicians and computer scientists. Its aims are to encourage communication between these disciplines, to provide a survey of present work in the field, and to stimulate discussion and future progress. CAA International has been organizing the annual meetings of its members since the 1970s. It has grown into a large community of more than 1000 scholars from around the world.[1] Its members created a dozen of National CAA chapters and special interest groups.[2] CAA International publishes annual proceedings [3] and the Journal of Computer Applications in Archaeology (JCAA).[4]

History of CAA International

Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) has been created in the 1970s. Initially, it was a small group of archaeologists and mathematicians interested in computer applications and working in the United Kingdom (UK). The first conference was organized in 1973 in Birmingham, England. In 1992 the first, CAA conference was held outside the UK. Gradually, the CAA has grown into a large international community.[2][5][6][7]


Current CAA International conference

The current 49th CAA International conference is CAA 2022 Oxford iNside Formation [8]
