Conferences, meetings and sessions
In October 2021:
- New Approaches in Digital Archaeology: https://archaeology.nsc.ru/events/nada

Please remeber to add these and other new events to the SIG’s Google calendar.
SIG activities
- Teaching material list
- Sophie Schmidt will now create a Google sheet document to collect information
- Ideally every SIG member should invest 10 minutes of brainstorming to collect teaching resources

Open exchange about activities and software updates
- The rchaeology team has a new website: https://rchaeology.github.io
- James reports that the recently published Book “Agent-Based Modeling for Archaeology: Simulating the Complexity of Societies” is indeed an excellent resource for teaching
