The 2025 Annual Meeting will be held in Philadelphia, PA from January 2-5. We have not determined the format for the 2025 meeting. Once we have completed our post meeting survey and gotten additional feedback we will determine the detailed structure and format of the conference, along with registration categories and rates. Updated information will be posted as it becomes available.
Meeting Theme: For the 2025 Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, the Program for the Annual Meeting Committee especially encourages the submission of organized sessions, papers, or posters that explore the traces of human responses to and resilience in the face of past climate shifts and ecological disasters, and that investigate environmental threats to the archaeological record in the present in light of anthropogenic climate change. These sessions will be highlighted in the program with the header, “Archaeology and the Environment.” We also welcome sessions that focus on a specific region or time-period and hope that these will continue to be prominently represented in the meeting program.
The deadlines for submissions will follow the same pattern as previous years with deadlines in late March for all colloquia, any joint AIA/SCS sessions, and any open-session submissions needing an early decision to acquire a visa or obtain funding. We will accept workshops, open session paper and posters submissions, and any provisionally accepted colloquia and workshops that are resubmitting for the second deadline in August. Lightning Session and Roundtable submissions will be accepted through Wednesday, November 1.
Please review the Call for Papers and submission forms prior to submitting.
