After a successful ICAS-EMME 2 in November 2019 we are delighted to welcome you to the 3^rd International Congress on Archaeological Sciences in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, or ICAS-EMME 3 for short. We are proud to host nearly 140 presentations on a wide range of topics and in 12 Thematic Sessions covering all the aspects of Archaeological Science which are focused on the Eastern Meditteranean and the Middle East region. The number of presentations received was such that we had to split the conference into two parallel sessions, and to ask numerous colleagues to present their research as posters instead of oral presentations. This conference, after all the problems the pandemic caused, is held in a hybrid mode, with most participants being present at the premises of the Cyprus Institute. Through the social events organised, we hope to facilitate the interaction of speakers and audiences across the thematic sessions to counteract the separation due to parallel sessions and all the problems the pandemic caused in scientific meetings the last two years. In addition, the online streaming of the parallel sessions targets to reach to wider audiences interested in the archaeology of the EMME region.

The main aim of this series of conferences is to cross borders, to combine innovation in methods with original research questions, to break out from a strict disciplinary focus, and to offer more comprehensive views on the lives and times of people past, regardless of whether the evidence we study and discover emerges from the soil through excavation, or has been kept above ground.
