“The XXXVIII Annual CAA Conference will be held in Granada, Spain, from
April 6 to 9, 2010 and is expected to bring together archaeologist,
computer scientist and mathematicians to explore and exchange knowledge in
order to enhance our understanding of the past. Classical disciplines like
archaeology, anthropology or geography, and more modern ones like computer
science, geomatics or museology exchange their most recent advances during
the conference.”

“CAA 2010 is inspired in the concept Fusion of Cultures that identifies
the scope of the conference and the spirit of the historical city of
Granada. The aim of the conference is to create an collaborative
