The 2012 Joint Meeting of the 2012 PNC Annual Conference is hosted by UC Berkeley. The conference is organized by UC Merced's School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts and the University of Siena, Italy's Department of Archaeology and History of Arts, Landscape Archaeology and Remote Sensing Lab.

The conference will focus on local and small-scale intra-site analysis and socio-ecological system analysis, consisting of a limited cultural-physical unit, its associated social/cultural/economical actors and institutions, and their development through time.

The main objective is to show the impact of technological applications on the improvement of archaeological models, the interpretation, conservation and communication of cultural heritage, and the transformation of social and economic patterns from prehistory to historical periods. The workshop aims to present multidisciplinary papers given by invited authors from the U.S. and around the world who are experts in remote sensing, archaeology, anthropology, history and social sciences.

Networking and education at a global scale of remote sensing in archaeology will also be a main topic at the conference.
