AACAI WA Lithics Workshop

The WA Chapter of the Australian Association of Consulting Archaeologists Inc. (AACAI WA) are delighted to present a two-day workshop on lithics by renowned Australian archaeologist Peter Hiscock, an Honorary Professor at the University of Queensland, and Adjunct Research Fellow at Griffith University.

Over the course of two days, Peter will provide lithics training to participants. He will discuss how lithic technology in the past might have worked and how you can describe the objects you find in ways that help you understand past human decisions and problem solving. He will also address what kinds of analyses are practical and cost-effective for the skill level and resources of each analyst, and what information can and cannot be reliably inferred from lithics.

The workshop will be held at the University of Western Australia (UWA) Crawley campus on Friday 24th April and Saturday 25th April 2026, starting at 9am sharp and concluding at 4pm each day.

Venue details will be shared with participants before the workshop.

Prices are as follows (excludes Humantix fees):

• AACAI Member $300
• Student $300
• First Nations $300
• Non-Member $400

Spaces are limited due to venue size and ticket sales will close by COB Wednesday 15th April for catering purposes.

Catering will be provided throughout each day (inclusive of price) – please let us know if you have any dietary requirements on your booking.

Please share through your booking any questions about lithics that you may have and would like Peter to answer at the workshop.

AACAI WA is grateful to the Desert People Project at UWA for supporting this workshop.
