SHANGHAI, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) — The 5th Shanghai Archaeology Forum was held at Shanghai University from Friday to Sunday, focusing on archaeological studies of climate change and social sustainability.
Jointly hosted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Shanghai municipal government, the international archaeology forum has attracted more than 200 scholars from over 40 countries and regions.
During the event, scholars across different countries and disciplines discussed the challenges in the archaeological study of climate change and social sustainability from transdisciplinary and long-term perspectives.
The forum also featured a special session on recent advances in Chinese archaeology, introducing China's latest archaeological findings and research achievements.
"I'm excited to be here to learn about different approaches of Chinese and international archaeologists and to share how the ancient people adapted to climate changes centuries ago," said Sarah Klassen, a research fellow at the University of Toronto. She added that the continuous advancement of technology is improving the methods of archaeological research.
Gao Xiang, the president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, noted that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the forum's establishment. The forum is committed to fostering innovation and collaboration, providing valuable insights for the sustainable development of human society from an archaeological perspective.
The Shanghai Archaeology Forum was established in 2013 with the aim of promoting the investigation, protection and utilization of global archaeological resources and cultural heritage.
