Archaeology has the healthy habit of meeting every year to discuss theoretical issues through an itinerant platform which is fairly voluntary in nature. The 33rd Theoretical Archaeology Group conference (TAG), this year known as the Central TAG because this year it takes place in Birmingham (UK), conveniently located in the middle of the country which confers the main impulse to these meetings.

This international "HOMER 2011" conference aims to bring together the many researchers interested in questions of coastal archaeology, maritime communities and the interactions between people and the marine environment. The geographical frame of reference will be the Channel, North Sea and Atlantic areas of Europe.

The origin of the Joint Geomorphological Meetings is the combination of associations of geomorphologists from Italy, Greece, Belgium, Romania and France. The resulting meetings have, however, proven to be very active and scientifically stimulating.

This year it's fifteenth edition will take place the first days of June in Athens. For more information click here.
