Exploring the Ancient World: Kanazawa University Ancient Civilizations and Cultural Resources Forum 2024

Event Details

Kanazawa University Institute for the Study of Ancient Civilizations and Cultural Resources is conducting many research projects on the past of humankind. Humanity's past is older than the birth of civilization, stretching from prehistoric times to modern times and the present, and encompassing not only the Japanese archipelago but also various parts of the world across the old and new continents.

In order to provide the latest information on this topic, this year we will hold again an open forum for junior and high school students, university students, and the general public. Come and experience the forefront of cutting-edge research being conducted by Kanazawa University, with the aim of denouncing archaeology, archaeological science, and cultural resources studies.
