The National Archaeology Student Conference (NASC) aims to provide students (Undergraduate, Honours, Post-graduate) with a platform from which they can discuss research amongst their peers and receive feedback from judges, who are professional archaeologists/consultants and university academic staff. The scope of NASC encompasses all fields of archaeological inquiry, irrespective of geographical focus. Participation was open to students at Australian and overseas universities. In 2015, NASC was co-hosted by archaeology students of both Macquarie University and the University of Sydney from the 14th-16th of August, hosting over 100 attendees, with over 30 papers and poster presentations from students nationwide. Keynote speakers included Professor Amanda Esterhuysen (University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa -https://wits.academia.edu/AmandaEsterhuysen) and Dr. Aedeen Cremin (University of Canberra - https://independent.academia.edu/aedeencremin).
