Call for Papers: Archaeology of Armenia in Regional Context, July 9 – 11 2019

The 2nd international conference “Archaeology of Armenia in Regional Context” will be held in Yerevan from the 9th to the 11th of July 2019.

2019 marks the 60th anniversary of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, which we plan to commemorate with an international conference. The primary goal of the conference is to showcase the results of the work of the Institute’s archaeological research groups over the past 10 years and the achievements of individual subdisciplines of archaeology in Armenia. Over the last 10 years, under the leadership or co-administration of the Institute, there have been approximately twenty archaeological expeditions, most of which are the result of international cooperation. These expeditions are typically at work simultaneously during the summer. As a result, specialists of different expeditions are rarely able to communicate with colleagues, share their work success and learn about the results of joint work as a result of scheduling issues, organizational challenges, and other reasons. Our intention is to bring together the members of archeological expeditions and provide an opportunity to communicate with one another. It is expected that specialists from the cooperating scientific and educational institutions of Armenia, USA, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Israel, Japan, Russia, Austria, Georgia and other countries will participate.

The materials of the conference will be published in the Proceedings of the Institute entitled Archaeology of Armenia in Regional Context (volume 2), in English.
