As part of an ongoing agenda to promote and disseminate Latin American archaeology in Canada, the Canadian Latin American Archaeology Society’s (CLAAS) Board of Directors are hosting a session during this year’s CAA meeting. We hope to integrate a wide array of topics involving new and exciting archaeological findings in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America. We encourage contributions on diverse topics, including those within the scope of the conference theme and techniques and approaches to studying pre-Columbian societies such as ceramic and lithic analyses, paleoethnobotany, geospatial analytical tools, and zooarchaeological and bioarchaeological studies. The main goal of this session is to provide a varied and representative depiction of the current state of Latin American archaeology from a Canadian context.
