We look forward to welcoming the archaeological world to WAC4 in 1999. Martin Hall Academic Secretary, and Professor of Historical Archaeology, University of Cape Town. At the meeting point of two oceans, the Cape epitomises the interconnections of the southern hemisphere. At the turn of the millennium, the Congress invites contemplation of landmarks in the long history of humanity. Convenors submit suggestions for symposia and, once accepted take responsibility for co-ordinating the session.
Workshops provide a two-hour forum for sharing of information and skills.
Workshop convenors are responsible for organising the session and leading discussion. Fifteen minutes are allotted for paper presentations. Papers are pre-submitted and will be available to all Congress participants through the World Wide Web. Posters and photographic presentations may be offered by delegates and will be on display throughout the Congress. Our second announcement, which will be issued early in 1998, will contain more details of the Congress themes, and will provide you with full registration details, tour information and abstract submission forms.
