New Zealand Archaeology Week 2017

New Zealand Archaeology Week will be from 1 to 7 April 2017.

The New Zealand Archaeological Association is working to increase public awareness and highlight the importance of protecting our archaeological heritage by promoting the work of New Zealand archaeologists both at home and abroad.

Why?
To bring archaeology to the public and tell our country’s story. Promoting our archaeological heritage increases public recognition, leading to greater appreciation and protection of the record of our past.

Who?
Around the country, a variety of events are being hosted by consultant archaeologists, museums, heritage organisations and iwi. These include public talks, historic walks, and displays in regions from the Far North to the Deep South.
