Dear colleagues,

Due to the Covid-19 epidemic, the deadline for submission of abstracts (communications, posters or public demonstrations) was extended to 26 June 2020. We are aware of the current difficulties of many researchers. This report aims to enable as many people as possible to participate in this important scientific meeting to experimental archaeology.

Furthermore, this will allow us to better assess the evolution of the health constraints linked to the epidemic and to decide on postponing or maintaining this scientific meeting for the end of October. Decision will be made before summer. In case the congress is postponed in 2021, the already paid abstracts and registrations will obviously remain valid.

We hope that many of you will attend this congress.
Take care
