Discovering African Archaeology and Heritage Without Borders
Both Africans and non-Africans face various challenges when thinking of, designing and implementing their research projects in two or more neighbouring African countries. We invite papers and sessions that will reflect, critique, and expand on these challenges, and chart new methodologies for future directions.
