Where the Wild Things Are 2.0

The first Where the Wild Things Are conference, which took place between 23-25 March 2012, hosted over 130 delegates from eighteen different countries. Over two days talks presented advances in Palaeolithic and Mesolithic archaeology. 

Now, in combination with the highly successful conference series that began with the CAHO 10^thAnniversary conference Unravelling the Palaeolithic (Southampton 2010), followed by HOBET 2012 (Liverpool 2012) and Unravelling Human Origins (Cambridge 2013), we are delighted to announce the return of Where the Wild Things Are in 2014.

The aim of this multidisciplinary conference is to provide a forum for the presentation, discussion and promotion of new and innovative advances in Palaeolithic and Mesolithic studies and Palaeoanthropology in general by established and new academics, with postgraduate students being particularly welcome.

The conference will take place on 8-10 January 2014 and will include an opening reception on the Wednesday evening. An optional conference dinner will take place in the evening on Thursday. Papers and posters covering a wide range of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic research will be presented. Confirmed keynote speakers include leading specialists on the earliest humans in the Americas (Dr Mike Waters, Texas A&M University), African Late Stone Age (Prof. Peter Mitchell, Oxford University), and Mesolithic-Neolithic of Europe (Prof. Leendert Louwe Kooijmans, Leiden University).
