History
The Theoretical Archaeology Group was founded in 1979 in order to promote debate and discussion of issues in theoretical archaeology. Its principal activity is the promotion of an annual conference, usually in December. A National Committee manages and steers TAG, consisting of representatives from departments that have held a previous TAG Conference.
The TAG Trustees convene and organize National Committee meetings. They are:
- Colin Renfrew
- Timothy Darvill
- Julian Thomas
- Karina Croucher
- Andrew Fleming (1979 - 2001)
TAG Conferences are also held in TAG North America, TAG Iberico and Nordic TAG.[1]
