International Conference on “Archaeology in Conflict”
Vienna International Center, UN-City, Vienna, Austria, EU
This international conference addresses the multiple ways in which archaeology and cultural heritage interface with war. What roles should scholars archaeologists and cultural heritage professionals play during times of war/armed conflict? What ethical, historical, and practical dilemmas are raised in times of armed conflict? How have people resolved these issues? How does this articulate with the illicit trade in antiquities, which constitutes up to 90% of international trade in archaeological assets? How can ours experiences of past conflicts guide our future behaviours?
Powered by the World Archaeological Congress and the Association of National Committees of the Blue Shield
in cooperation with learned societies, academic research institutions and non-governmental organizations from all over the world.
Organized by
Friedrich T. Schipper, University of Vienna,
and Magnus T. Bernhardsson, University of Iceland & Williams College
