For the general session, we encourage papers engaging with, but not limited to: 

• New materialities in the digital age 
• (Dis)connectivities in human/environment/object relationships 
• Unboxing dichotomies and other non-binary approaches 
• Broader ideas of change which could be applied to material culture, agency, identities, or even techniques and approaches in archaeology 

Please indicate which theme session you wish to contribute to, or if you are submitting to the general session. Any papers that are not accepted for a themed session will be considered for the general session (organised by the Local Organising Committee).
