Call for Papers

This year's theme is Archaeology in a Time of Unprecedented Crisis. We particularly welcome papers on our two subthemes: the archaeology of race and social justice and the archaeology of medicine and health. General papers on historical archaeology in the Northeast are always welcome. Abstracts should be no more than 150 words and clearly describe the purpose of the research, its results, and significance. Papers will be presented through Zoom and are limited to 15 minutes.

All papers should be pre-recorded voiceover PowerPoints or MP4s. All abstracts must be submitted by Tuesday, September 15, 2020. Due to the format of the conference this year, we will be limiting acceptance to 24 papers total. Presentations may also be archived for later viewing. All lead author(s)/presenter(s) must be current members of CNEHA and register for the conference when submitting their abstract. Students must include a scan of their student ID.

A plenary presentation is planned as is a virtual happy hour.
