Archaeologies

Dear WAC Members and Colleagues, We invite you to listen, learn, discuss, and ask questions during our virtual WAC Inter-Congress. The Inter-Congress will be held online from August 30-September 3, 2021. The five planned sessions focus directly on the state of archaeological practice and practitioners today: Decoloniality, Black Lives Matter, Democracy, COVID-19, and Indigenous Narratives. For Session details, please refer to the Inter-Congress Preliminary Program at the end of this volume. Each session will consist of a keynote lecture followed by four papers and general discussion. Charles University is hosting the event and their Zoom-licence limits participation to 500 live connections. However, each session will be streamed on the You-Tube channel. Participation in the virtual WAC Inter-Congress is free of charge. Priority for participation will be given to WAC current members, but everyone is welcome. All you need to register can be found on the WAC website https://www.wac-9.org/. Sincerely Jan Turek, WAC-9 Academic Secretary

2021

On behalf of the 'Associazione Internazionale di Archeologia Classica (AIAC)' the 19 th International Congress for Classical Archaeology took place in Cologne and Bonn from 22 to 26 May 2018. It was jointly organized by the two Archaeological Institutes of the Universities of Cologne and Bonn, and the primary theme of the congress was 'Archaeology and Economy in the Ancient World'. In fact, economic aspects permeate all areas of public and private life in ancient societies, whether in urban development, religion, art, housing, or in death. Research on ancient economies has long played a significant role in ancient history. Increasingly in the last decades, awareness has grown in archaeology that the material culture of ancient societies offers excellent opportunities for studying the structure, performance, and dynamics of ancient economic systems and economic processes. Therefore, the main objective of this congress was to understand economy as a central element of classical societies and to analyze its interaction with ecological, political, social, religious, and cultural factors. The theme of the congress was addressed to all disciplines that deal with the Greco-Roman civilization and their neighbouring cultures from the Aegean Bronze Age to the end of Late Antiquity. The participation of more than 1.200 scholars from more than 40 countries demonstrates the great response to the topic of the congress. Altogether, more than 900 papers in 128 panels were presented, as were more than 110 posters. The publication of the congress is in two stages: larger panels are initially presented as independent volumes, such as this publication. Finally, at the end of the editing process, all contributions will be published in a joint conference volume. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all participants and helpers of the congress who made it such a great success. Its realization would not have been possible without the generous support of many institutions, whom we would like to thank once again: the Universities of Bonn and Cologne, the Archaeological Society of Cologne, the Archaeology Foundation of Cologne, the Gerda Henkel Foundation, the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, the Sal. Oppenheim Foundation, the German Research Foundation (DFG), the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Romano-Germanic Museum Cologne and the LVR-LandesMuseum Bonn. Finally, our thanks go to all colleagues and panel organizers who were involved in the editing and printing process.

Conference Theme: Opening the Ancient World: Representations of the Past in Ancient & Modern Times This interdisciplinary conference examines exploration, representation, and reception of pasts in the broadest cross-cultural, global, and atemporal world context. This conference employs the framework of interdisciplinary “Ancient Studies,” the study of the deep past of all societies, exploring the reception and representation of the past in present and ancient societies. Removing the privileging of our contemporary temporal position by intertwining current and past explorations of pasts treats this issue as a human cultural construction in all societies. This free, public conference will be held on Sunday and Monday, July 21st to 22nd, 2024, and will be livestreamed on SASA’s website, social media channels, and on our partners’ platforms. For the first time, we are proud to announce that the Opening the Ancient World Virtual Conference will support live interpretation for Spanish and Arabic thanks to a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation!
