Fieldwork, Communities, and Conflicts in Northeastern Africa

In a world marked by crises, wars, and deep divisions, archaeology is more than excavation and research. Where history and heritage intersect with contemporary struggles, it becomes a social and political act—a way to confront injustice, nurture resilience, and inspire solidarity. By engaging with the past, we are reminded that humans have not only faced profound challenges but have continually innovated and adapted, finding ways to coexist, grow, and flourish together.

The LPNEA workshop (29–30 September 2025, Bracciano, Rome | hybrid format) will bring scholars together to share experiences, confront challenges, and explore how archaeology in Northeastern Africa can foster dialogue and community in today’s fractured world.

Join us in using the lessons of the past to support understanding, cooperation, and more resilient communities. To register, either in person or online, scan the QR code on the workshop poster or e-mail: neafrica25@gmail.com
