The congress will be organised in three types of sessions: Sections, Workshops and Colloquia.

Sections follow the activities of the IUPPS commissions, and cover all chronological topics. Their aim is to gather together several experts, to discuss a variety of themes within a global subject.

Workshops address new research topics, either not considered by the Commissions or having a limited thematic scope. Their aim is to promote discussion on these topics, and to suggest guidelines for further work.

Colloquia are sessions organised by at least two co-ordinators from two different countries, aiming at bringing together up-dated perspectives on a major relevant topic, and leading to specific conclusions.

Note: Several proposed colloquia and workshops will be articulated within two major components of the Congress, entitled:

  • “SAP – Southern America Archaeology Panorama”, under the general co-ordination of Maria Dulce Gaspar, Saúl Eduardo Milder and Fábio Vergara Cerqueira
  • “GSA – Gobal State of the Art”, organised jointly by the 9th Scientific Commission of UISPP and IFRAO, under the general co-ordination of Jean Clottes, Mila Simões Abreu and Hipolito Collado
