The Kentucky Heritage Council’s 37th Annual Archaeology Conference is scheduled for Friday, February 28th through Sunday, March 1, 2020 and will be held at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, KY. This year’s conference is co-sponsored by Western Kentucky University, Kentucky Organization of Professional Archaeologists, Indiana Archaeology Council, and Tennessee Council for Professional Archaeology.
Papers & Posters
For the 2020 conference we are encouraging folks to submit papers that have an interstate flavor by pulling information from all three states: Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Those interested in presenting a paper or poster should send an abstract (100 words maximum) no later than January 30, 2020 to Nicolas Laracuente (Nicolas.laracuente@ky.gov).
Please be sure to indicate your preferred presentation format with your abstract submission. Participants will be allocated 20 minutes per oral presentation. There will also be a designated time and space for poster presenters to discuss their projects with conference attendees.
