International Symposium
Prehistory of Northeastern Africa - new ideas and discoveries

(Poznań, 2 - 5 July, 2007)

1st Circular

The present letter is an invitation to the eighth successive conference, following the "Dymaczewo Conference" in 1980, as always devoted to the prehistory of Northeastern Africa.

Lech Krzyżaniak, the main organiser and "spiritus movens" of previous conferences, is no longer with us. This is a great and irreplaceable loss. Yet we have decided to continue our meetings, and that for two reasons. Firstly, because we believe that is a need for them, and secondly, because we are absolutely certain that Lech would have wished it.

The Symposium is organised by the Poznań Archaeological Museum and the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Poznań Branch. Archaeologists and specialists from other fields of research (geomorphology and geology, human ecology, climatology, archaeobotany, archaeozoology, physical anthropology etc.) working in Northeastern Africa and neighbouring regions, as long as their work is topically connected, are invited to attend.

The Symposium will be held on the premises of the Poznań Archaeological Museum. The Museum is located at the corner of the mediaeval Old Market Square, in a beautiful and attractive setting. The Participants will be accommodated in hotels, pensions situated in the vicinity of the Museum.

Details as to the accommodation and costs will be forwarded in the Second Circular, which will come in due course to those who return the enclosed Registration Form.

You are asked to send completed Registration Forms to the Symposium's Main Office to the following address:
Małgorzata Winiarska-Kabacińska, e-mail mwin@man.poznan.pl

All information will be available on the website - www.lpna.org - now under preparation. You will be informed about its opening date by a separate e-mail.

Do not hesitate to send this Circular to anyone interested in the topics in question.
