The Society convenes for its two-day conference every autumn. Held in a different region of the UK each year, it usually addresses a theme of topical interest and attracts an excellent range of speakers working across all sectors of archaeology. The conference is an excellent place to learn more, meet new people and to enjoy visiting world class venues. The AGM also takes place at this time.
In 2019 SMA introduced its Annual Awards for Excellence – find out more about the Awards, winners and how to enter for 2020 here.
Many thanks to Doug Rocks-McQueen we can share a great set of papers by a great set of speakers!
