November 4-5, 2023, Cornell University
Welcome to the website of the 40th annual Northeast Conference on Andean and Amazonian Archaeology and Ethnohistory (NCAAE)! We are excited to host the NCAAE at Cornell University, where it all began in 1982, and hope you will be able to join us! We are especially delighted to welcome back Frank Salomon, esteemed ethnographer and historian of the Andes and an alumnus of Cornell (PhD, 1978), who will deliver the keynote lecture on Saturday, November 4.

Founded in 1982 at Cornell University by Dan Sandweiss, the NCAAE was intended to provide a more accessible venue for sharing current research and works-in-progress, at a time when Andeanist meetings were located mainly on the West Coast and Midwest. Since then, the NCAAE has grown into a vibrant intellectual community encompassing multiple research institutions and independent scholars in the Northeast, and beyond. The NCAAE is organized on an ad-hoc and volunteer basis, with the responsibility of hosting the conference rotating among different institutions, and typically decided 1-2 years in advance at our Business Meeting (during the conference). The intimate scale of the conference provides ample opportunity for building professional connections and makes for a welcoming environment for junior scholars and graduate students to present and receive feedback on their work.
More information on the history of the NCAAE, including a publication by Richard E. Daggett and a chronological listing of papers curated by Daggett and Monica Barnes, can be found in the archives of Andean Past.
