Subject: WAC4
World Archaeology Congress 4
Cape Town: 10 - 14 January 1999
Theme: Global Archaeology at the Turn of the Millennium
WAC, the World Archaeology Congress, was inaugurated at its first
congress in Southampton in 1986, and last met in New Delhi in
1994. Its conferences and inter-congresses have continued to develop
the global dimension of archaeology and the social role that
archaeologists play as interpreters of the past. We expect more than a
thousand delegates in Cape Town, and we are planning an exciting and
stimulating programme that will do justice to the turn of the
millennium.
It is appropriate that WAC4 should be held in South Africa. The World
Archaeology Congress was formed in opposition to apartheid,
highlighting the relationship between the study of the past and the
politics of the present. South Africa's first democratic elections in
1994 ended a long, bitter era and archaeologists here are now free to
be part of a world community of scholarship.
The academic programme of the Congress will be organised around
symposia. These will be half-day, full-day or running themes, each
organised by a Symposium Convenor. Papers will be available
electronically to registered delegates prior to the Congress, and full
details of the programme will be posted on our website as they become
available.
The Congress will be structured around three broad themes: time;
archaeology in a global context, and the future. This will provide a
rich vein of intellectual stimulation, offering a truly global
perspective on a discipline that has stimulated and satisfied many for
well over a century.
If you would like to attend the Congress, please visit our website
(URL below) and register electronically, or complete the registration
form in the Second Announcement which will be mailed shortly.
Should you wish to deliver a paper, organise a symposium or workshop,
present a poster or screen a film on an archaeological topic,
demonstrate an archaeology-related computer program or multimedia
product, or rent exhibition space at the Congress, please contact the
