Dear all,

This is a reminder that we are still accepting sessions and papers for the 
Japanese Inter-Congress, which will be held 12-15th, January, 2006

The web address is http://wacosaka.jp/

The Inter-Congress theme, Kyosei-no-koukogaku: Coexisting in the Past and 
Present, will provide a forum for examining a range of issues relating to 
the study and practices of archaeology in the past and present. There will 
be three main areas of focus:

*       Learning from the past.
*       Public archaeology.
*       Cultural heritage management.


There will be opportunities for archaeologists to explore questions such as:

*       How do Indigenous peoples and immigrant/colonial powers coexist in 
a single society?
*       How do we develop practices to allow cultural heritage to be 
preserved for study in the present (and the future)?
*       Are there ways that the past and present can comfortably coexist in 
our archaeological practices?
*       How do we 'teach' coexistence?

Through Kyosei-no-koukogaku: Coexisting in the Past and Present 
archaeologists will address the issues of cultural symbiosis in the past 
and it's implications for how to coexist with the cultural heritage around 
us in a fruitful and productive manner so that all people can better learn 
to appreciate the strength gained through mutual expression of differences 
and so that cultural heritage is preserved for future generations.

Cheers,

Claire
