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

Supported by the British Academy, English 
Heritage, Historic Scotland, the Department of 
Environment Northern Ireland, DEGUWA, 
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, 
and consider attending both congresses!

With sincere apologies for cross-postings,

Sincere regards,
