Meeting Theme: For the 2026 Annual meeting, the Program for the Annual Meeting Committee encourages the submission of organized sessions, papers, or posters that explore approaches to heritage of the Mediterranean and surrounding lands. The region has seen growing interest in how societies today have inherited and used the past, how antiquity and its material remains inform relationships in the present, and how archaeologists can contribute to the value and preservation of the region’s heritage for future generations.
The 2025 Annual Meeting is now complete! Over 2000 people participated in the meeting from January 2-5 in Philadelphia, PA. There are still several ways to view the full program online:
