#AAA47
Great to be part of the UWA contingent who travelled to Gimuy to take part in #AAA47. Fabulous sessions on Shared narratives and proud to have our Dating Project team present work done in collaboration with Murujuga. Happy the Big and small #s made a return to the schedule, with many worthy winners!

We came to #AAA47 to listen and learn from each other, to stretch our understanding, to hear new perspectives. We need to listen when people are trying to share perspectives outside of our experience. We’ve come so far as a profession, the changes have only made us better.

Best paper of #AAA47? Joshua Willsher presenting on a new archaeological board game called Cultivaria.

Well acknowledged the priority on game play over archaeological accuracy without too many compromises. A well played game is more engaging than one too data heavy 👏 👏
