About this congress

The World Archaeological Congress (WAC) is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization that promotes world archaeology. It holds an international Congress every four years to facilitate the exchange of archaeological research results, provide professional training and public education for disadvantaged nations and communities, empower Indigenous groups and First Nations peoples, and conserve archaeological sites. WAC Congresses offer discussions on new archaeological research, policy, practice, and politics, including topics like the international traffic of antiquities, looting, site protection, and public education about archaeology.
