Materializing Memory and Managing Futures: Archaeology and Perspectives in the Changing Southeast

The organizing committee invites papers and posters that explore the contours of memory formation and influence from settings and contexts throughout the Southeast as a variety of professionals navigate multiple modern challenges, such as overdevelopment, gentrification, political polarization, and climate change.

Presentations and posters on community-based archaeologies, community consultation, creative mitigation strategies, and intergroup collaborations are especially encouraged. In keeping with the tradition of SECHSA, paper presentations and posters addressing all current research in historical archaeology are also welcome. Student researchers are warmly encouraged to present mentored research projects.
