conference on archaeological heritage management, to be held in
historic Cuzco, Peru on November 27-30 of this year. Registration is

Among the worldwide issues for consideration at this meeting are local

and community sustainability; tourism pressures and site preservation;
heritage and rights; challenges to the validity and value of the World

Heritage List decision-making process; impacts of war, civil disorder,
and natural disasters on archaeological sites; technical advances in
archaeological heritage management.

Ample opportunities exist for tours of Cuzco, Machu Picchu and the
Sacred Valley before and after the conference.
