NZAA Conference 2022 Awards
Public Archaeology Award: Project Buffalo (citation here).

Best Poster: Anne-Claire Mauger et al. Otago Coastal Erosion

Professional organisation update
The outcome of the vote on NZAA's future at conference last week was a resounding vote in favour of NZAA introducing a professional membership category. The votes of both those there in person and those who submitted email votes prior to the conference were counted and close to two-thirds were for this option.

Exhibitions in UK and Africa rewrite history by celebrating discoveries of overlooked black excavators in colonial era.  Today, without these photos, taken in Kenya in the 1940s and 50s, there would be scarcely any evidence that African Kenyans were present at archaeological digs. Their contributions and priceless finds were credited to their European bosses – and their important role in unearthing the history of their own continent has been all but forgotten.

You will see from the style the eNews consists largely of links.
Our preferred form is  a few lines at most, with a link or an email contact for further information.
At a pinch we may self-host longer documents to link in the eNews, but they must be submitted as pdf or word documents as attachments to emails. They need some processing so there may be a delay in their being used.
If you are running a conference we will usually run a link once only - and if you don't have a website for it yet, then please tell us when you have. 
Relevant job advertisements are welcome - there is no charge.
