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.
