Dear Friends and Colleagues,
The Third International Congress on Underwater
Archaeology (IKUWA3) is to be held in London from 10-12 July 2008.
IKUWA3 explores the theme of challenges in
underwater archaeology: how underwater
archaeology can be interlinked across boundaries,
whether real or imagined, institutional,
environmental, political, legislative or other.
Concurrent sessions will discuss:
[a] Research Trends and the Future
[b] Techniques and Scientific Methods
[c] Managing Underwater Cultural Heritage for the Public
A Call for Papers that fall within one of the
above three themes is available at
WWW.IKUWA3.COM. Abstracts of no more than 250 to
500 words are due no later than the 30th September 2007, and should be sent to:
The IKUWA3 Steering Committee

Gesellschaft für Schweizer
Unterwasserarchäologie, the Römisch-Germanische
Kommission, the Hampshire and Wight Trust for
Maritime Archaeology (HWTMA), the Underwater
Archaeology Research Centre at the University of
Nottingham (UARC) and University College London,
the Congress is being co-hosted by the Nautical
Archaeology Society (NAS) the Institute of Field
Archaeologists (IFA), and the Institute of
Archaeology, University College London (UCL),
reflecting the breadth of interest in archaeology
under water and the range of individuals and
organisations involved in the exploration and
understanding of the maritime cultural resource.
IKUWA3 includes a three day practical field
school, a three day conference (with associated
social events), and two days of fieldtrips,
together with a poster display, industry stands,
and a bookshop. IKUWA3 coincides with the 2008 UK National Archaeology Week.
IKUWA3 is immediately after the Sixth WAC
Congress (WAC 6), held at University College
Dublin between 29 June - 4 July 2008. Please go
to http://www.ucd.ie/wac-6/ for more information,

Sincere regards,
