Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) is a global organization bringing together archaeologists, mathematicians and computer scientists. Its aims are to encourage communication between these disciplines, to provide a survey of present work in the field, and to stimulate discussion and future progress. CAA International has been organizing the annual meetings of its members since the 1970s. It has grown into a large community of more than 1000 scholars from around the world. Its members created a dozen of National CAA chapters and special interest groups.[1] CAA International publishes annual proceedings [2] and the Journal of Computer Applications in Archaeology (JCAA).[3]

History of CAA International

Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) has been created in the 1970s. Initially, it was a small group of archaeologists and mathematicians interested in computer applications and working in the United Kingdom (UK). The first conference was organized in 1973 in Birmingham, England. In 1992 the first, CAA conference was held outside the UK. Gradually, the CAA has grown into a large international community.[1]

Over the years national chapters have been established. Some having their own workshops series. One of the oldest chapters is in Germany[4] founded in 1981. CAA Germany has annual meetings since 2010 including joint chapter meetings with Netherlands and Flanders. Germany also hosted the international conference in 2018.

The Journal of Computer Applications in Archaeology is the peer-reviewed and open-access academic journal published by CAA. It was established in 2017 and is published online as a continuous volume and issue throughout the year.[5] The current managing editors are Cesar Gonzalez-Perez and Philip Verhagen.[6]
