An estimated 50 anthropologists and archaeologists are attending the event at the Havana-based Institute of Anthropology (ICAN) until November 17, after a long break due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Academicians and researchers from prestigious study centers such as the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the University of South Florida, the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD), the University of Winnipeg in Canada, and the Max Planck Institute in Germany, among other institutions, are participating in the event.

MsC Arliz Plasencia, member of the organizing committee, told Prensa Latina that this scientific event is an opportunity to make ICAN known and “meet again around different issues.”

However, Plasencia deemed it essential to resume the organization of the Conference, avoiding by this means the loss of topics, such as archaeology, religion, and cultural anthropology, among others.
