Contributors and sponsors support next Vitoria-Gasteiz’s JIA

From Arkeogazte’s Organization Committee we want to extend our gratitude herewith to all the contributors and sponsors who are making possible that this dream comes true. You have them on the right of your screen, but we must state them, because even in some cases, they have been an unexpected present which encourage us to continue working for a future of Archaeology as a discipline and for these conferences as a debate forum of young archaeologists.

The UPV-EHU Faculty of Letters (University of the Basque Country) will host the event, making available the facilities for all. The Department of Geography, Prehistory and Archaeology could not miss the meeting and has been, at every moment, very attentive to our necessities. Beta Analytic is assiduous to the JIA and other archaeological conferences. We thought they should be in these too. Thanks to that entity, the identification of the participants will no depend on the self-confidence or shyness of each one. JAS-Arqueología, in a gesture of unconditional support from our friend and colleague Jaime Almansa, will allow the monitoring of the tables and sessions with a summaries book where we hope to find you all as every year: Archaeology with name and surname, the one felt and shared in every hall chat. It was very pleasant to receive from Paco Etxebarria (head of the “Sociedad de Ciencias Aranzadi”) a collaboration proposal which had not been looked for, and has been an incentive to the organizing committee. The Diputación Foral de Álava, through the Archaeology Museum (BIBAT), will be in charge of putting design and above all, colour, to our proposal to these conferences. Finally (for the moment), we must point out the personal support of the Instituto Alavés de Arqueología (Archaeology Institute of Alava), where colleagues and friends will contribute with their know how to do to a greater knowledge of the historical heritage of this region. The archaeological visits by their hand are a true gift. To all of them, institutions as well as individuals with name and surname, we must thank, in advance, for being a push to all of us who think that in these forums of meeting, debate and friendship is where a real social Archaeology is forged, from, to and for all the societies which produced certain materiality, lived in a particular landscape or simply, have brought up to date that past which gives sense to our being humans.
