International conference organized by the French national institute for preventive archaeological research and the Quai Branly Museum How anthropologists addresses the past of the "tribal” societies they study? How do these societies represent their history and how can archaeology serve to expand it? What does archaeology bring to our understanding of these "timeless" societies? What historical and archaeological perspectives should we assign to these societies? In return, can the anthropology and archaeology of non-European societies provide new perspectives for "Western” archaeologists to follow?
