Kon\u2019nichiwa!<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the Eighth World Archaeological Congress it is my\u00a0great pleasure to invite colleagues from the globe to come to Kyoto from 28th August to 2nd September 2016. This\u00a0is the first time that the main conference of WAC has been held in East Asia and we look forward to making it a\u00a0truly successful and memorable congress.<\/p>\n

I feel it a curious turn of fate to have WAC-8, the 30th anniversary of its birth, in Kyoto where the course of\u00a0archaeology was first founded by Dr. Kosaku Hamada 100 years ago. I myself learned archaeology in this historic\u00a0city in 1960\u2019s. At that time I, along with other students, was also involved in the democratic movement against\u00a0the rapidly growing contradiction of capitalism. Students of the time often earnestly discussed the meaning and\u00a0relevance of archaeology and heritage in contemporary society through their activities in the \u2018field\u2019. Some of those\u00a0discussions are still relevant today, and, I believe, were essentially in to the same spirit as the WAC. Later, I met\u00a0Dr. Peter Ucko and joined the first WAC Southampton in 1986. Since then, WAC has continued to inspire and\u00a0stimulate me.<\/p>\n

In recent years global crises have compelled communities all over the world to reconsider the sustainability of\u00a0human societies. Environmental, economic and social issues, against a background of rapid modernization and\u00a0globalization, are growing and market fundamentalism and neo-liberalism are widening economic disparities in\u00a0many countries and regions. Busier modern people can\u2019t wait, and tend to see their society with a short-term vision,\u00a0while celebrating scientific development. Seemingly, archaeologists and heritage managers with respect to the past\u00a0with their long-term perspective, are expected to engage themselves more in this difficult and challenging time.<\/p>\n

Kyoto embodies more than 1,200 years of Japanese history and tradition. It survived a number of disasters\u00a0including earthquakes, conflicts and wars. The beautiful landscape consisting of temples and shrines, and quiet times\u00a0within their gardens will be sure to give you a great opportunity to reconsider your study and life. We hope WAC-8\u00a0will be a precious time for all delegates to share their experience and wisdom for the benefit of future generations.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n
