The Latest Results of American Studies, V. International Symposium
3–5 September 2025, Wrocław
The main issue of the Symposium will concern the results of the latest research in archaeological sciences, cultural and physical anthropology, and landscape, field and material studies, as well as their significance for understanding the evolution of pre-Columbian or colonial societies of the New World. At the same time, not only the results of the conducted research will be discussed, but also a discussion on the research methodology and the manners of popularization of scientific results will be carried out.
One of the main topics discussed during the Symposium will be environmental and climate changes, their impact on the development of prehistoric communities of both Americas, as well as the issue of anthropogenic environmental impact. In this context, the issue of intensifying interdisciplinary research will be raised. This mainly concerns the use of the latest achievements in the fields of physio-chemical, biological, and botanical sciences. Based on their research results, the speakers will also present experiences in the field of non-invasive research and the possibility of using the newest technological achievements in the field of archaeological research in hard-to-reach areas.
At the same time, we plan to organize a discussion regarding broadly understood pre-Columbian heritage, its social context and methodological aspects. Therefore, we cordially invite you to submit papers related to the issue of public archaeology, heritage conservation, post-colonialism, and indigenous archaeology within both Americas.
The meeting will enable the exchange of experiences between various research institutions and will offer an excellent opportunity for a discussion on diverse aspects of New World archaeology.
