About the event
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to participate in the XI Radiocarbon and Archaeology International Symposium, to be held in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 30 June to 3 July 2026. The conference will bring together researchers, students, and professionals from around the world working with radiocarbon and related approaches applied to archaeology, cultural heritage, paleoenvironmental research, and allied fields, creating a welcoming space for interdisciplinary dialogue and international collaboration.
The establishment of the Radiocarbon Laboratory of the Fluminense Federal University (LAC-UFF) in 2012 prompted a surge of archaeological research employing ¹4C dating in Brazil. This includes chronological and environmental investigations across various contexts, from the iconic Brazilian coastal sambaquis to the southern cerritos.
The LAC-UFF has previously hosted important international events for the radiocarbon community, such as the I Latin American Radiocarbon Conference (CLARA) in 2019 and the Joint IAEA–Fluminense Federal University Workshop on Radiocarbon Accelerator Mass Spectrometry for Cultural and Natural Heritage Preservation in Latin America in 2024.
