Mehmet ÖZDOĞAN Turgut SANER Co-President Co-President EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF ARCHAEOLOGISTS The European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) was established in 1994 to promote: - the development of archaeological research and the exchange of archaeological information - the management and interpretation of European archaeological heritage - the proper ethical and scientific standards for archaeological work In 1999 the European Association of Archaeologists was given “consultative status” with the Council of Europe. Since then, the EAA has been formally involved in all activities at the Council of Europe relevant to archaeological heritage. Thus, the EAA functions as a monitoring and advisory body on issues relating to the archaeology of Europe and beyond. The European Association of Archaeologists’ field of interest is on a global scale and broad in scope extending from prehistory to recent times, covering all fields of specializations relevant to archaeology and cultural heritage, including field archaeology, cultural heritage management, environmental archaeology, marine and aerial archaeology, industrial archaeology, museum studies, conservation and restoration, archaeometry, anthropology, art history, and architectural history. The EAA has over 11.000 members in 60 countries; individual members, official or academic institutions, and non-governmental organizations specialized in archaeology and cultural heritage are among the Association’s members.

The decision to hold the 20th annual congress of the European Association of Archaeologists in Istanbul will doubtlessly provide an exceptional occasion to bring together archaeologists and institutions and organizations of archaeology and cultural heritage within the historicity of the town. Istanbul abounds with historic monuments, museums, art galleries, and exhibitions. The organizing committee considers the EAA Congress as an exceptional occasion to raise awareness of and generate a feeling of excitement towards archaeology and cultural heritage, and to share this incentive with the town. On the occasion of the EAA Congress, a number of exhibitions, displays, and public activities will take place in various parts of Istanbul.
