Hi

Section numbering does not work until I remove \startbackmatter \stopbackmatter. I had a longer text file and I stripped it down until I found this?

IIRC :

\setupsectionblock[backpart][number=yes]

Best wishes, Taco

Besides enabling numbering for the backpart you can use the appendix block which has numbering by default.

%\defineconversionset[appendix:default][n]

\starttext

\startfrontmatter \completecontent[criterium=all] \stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter \startchapter[title=CHAP 1] TEXT \stopchapter \stopbodymatter

\startappendices \startchapter[title=Literature] \placelistofpublications \stopchapter \stopappendices

\stoptext

Thanks Wolfgang for your practical hint.
