About IPPA
Embedded Files
We are now accepting Session proposals for IPPA23.
IPPA is an international nonprofit organisation dedicated to the study of archaeology and other related fields in the Indo-Pacific region. Since its inception more than fifty years ago, it has grown to a large community of scholars and practitioners from over 40 different countries.
The antecedent of IPPA was originally founded in 1929. It was termed the Far Eastern Prehistory Association from 1953 to 1976, after which the name was changed to Indo-Pacific Prehistory Association.
Objectives
To promote cooperation in the study of the prehistory and related subjects in the Indo-Pacific region.
To maintain scholarly communication through regular congresses, communications, and the IPPA Bulletin (Journal of the Indo-Pacific Archaeology since 2014).
To uphold ethical standards on research in archaeology.

During its 212t Congress held in Hue, Vietnam last September 2018, Professor Philip Piper was selected by the incumbent Executive Committee as the next IPPA Secretary-General. He replaced Professor Ian Lilley, who held the position from 2009 to 2018, and with this decision the President and Executive Committee finished their terms.
