The School for Advanced Research (SAR) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, in agreement with the Organizing Committee of WAC-6, is pleased to announce that the session titled "Unpacking the Collection: Museums, Identity and Agency" was awarded the "SAR Prize Session in Anthropological Archaeology."

Ten participants from this session, organized by Sarah Byrne (University College London, UK), Anne Clarke (University of Sydney, Australia), Rodney Harrison (The Open University, UK), and Robin Torrence (The Australian Museum, Australia), will reconvene at SAR's campus in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for a five-day Advanced Seminar, during which they will have the opportunity for sustained conversations on their topic of how museum collections have been underutilized as sources of information about the nature and characteristics of cross-cultural interactions between Indigenous artifact makers and traders and collectors.

We at SAR wish to thank all of the organizers and participants of the 25 sessions that applied for the award -- all of them were of very high quality, and making a final selection was a challenge. SAR also wishes to thank the anonymous reviewers who helped SAR faculty to evaluate the sessions during the WAC-6 conference in Dublin, Ireland.
