New Zealand Archaeology Week 2019

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.

New Zealand Archaeology Week is now into its third year and is growing with each year thanks to the hard work and dedication of numerous people within the archaeological community.

New Zealand Archaeology Week 2019 event will comprise of a variety of events around New Zealand.  These events are being hosted by consultant archaeologists, museums, heritage organisations and iwi and will include public talks, historic walks, and displays in regions from the Far North to the Deep South.

The NZAA has some funds available to assist organisations with the costs associated with running Archaeology Week events, such as printing costs, venue hire, etc. Please submit funding applications to secretary@nzarchaeology.org by 31 March 2019. Applications should include a short description of your event and a description of the costs for which funding is sought. Applicants will be notified whether or not their application has been successful the following week.

In addition there are some events that while not during New Zealand Archaeology Week 2019 itself the NZAA believe it is important to include and support events which are of a similar nature and which include archaeological aspects.

NZAA will not take responsibility for any inaccuracies in the information presented.  For up to date information on each individual event please contact the even organiser.
