The Largest Community for Archaeology and Cultural Heritage in Europe
The EAA is the association for all archaeologists of Europe and beyond. The EAA has had over 12,000 registered Members from 120 countries worldwide working in prehistory, classical, medieval and later archaeology.
EAA membership is open to all professional archaeologists, students of archaeology, and retired archaeologists, as well as interested members of the public. By signing up for membership, a Member agrees to adhere to EAA Statutes, Code of Practice and Principles. EAA membership is per calendar year.
The EAA Annual Meetings are the highlight of the EAA year, bringing together colleagues from all over the world to discuss important issues in research, heritage management and commercial practice, ethics and theory, and the latest results of fieldwork. With over 3,000 delegates and more than 250 sessions, the EAA Annual Meetings have grown to be an essential event on the European archaeological scene.
The friendly atmosphere and lively social programme provide excellent opportunities for networking. Each Annual Meeting has its own academic and culturally distinctive signature.
