“Our Poster reflects World Archaeology with an emphasis on one of the pillars of the discipline, excavations. Handtrowel and tapes are essential equipment, the trowel in this case is pointing to Darwin, Australia, venue of the 10th World Archaeological Congress.
“In the poster, archaeologists were seen working at a site in Pompeii, each of them being meticulous, not to lose vital data. The poster reflects who we are as Archaeologists and the fact that the attention is on Darwin, Australia.
“The poster underscores the core value of teamwork, tolerance and thoroughness.”
