Landscape archaeology is the science of material traces of past peoples within the context of their interactions of the wider natural and social environment they inhabited. The mission of the congress is to have multiple sessions with papers that are as much complimentary to each other in terms of natural and cultural themes so that cultural and natural landscape archaeologists, as well as archaeologists, historical geographers, earth scientists and palaeoecologists can present and discuss. Below six congress themes are presented to invite scientists to submit their abstracts.

There are six conference themes
1. How did landscapes change?
2. Improving temporal, chronological and transformational frameworks
3. Linking lowlands to mountainous areas
4. Applying concepts of scale
5. New directions in digital prospection and modelling techniques
6. How will landscape archaeology develop in the future?
