The next Post Medieval Archaeology Congress – save the date!
The eighth annual Post-Medieval Archaeology Congress will be hosted at the University of Reading in Reading, UK, 15-17 May 2026.
We look forward to welcoming you to the UK in May 2026!
The annual Congress is open to all researchers to report current and recent research on any aspect of post-medieval, historical and contemporary archaeology.
There is no geographical focus and we welcome papers from around the world. SPMA asks contributors to offer 15-minute papers, which the organisers will arrange into themed sessions, or poster displays.
Organised sessions of papers set around a particular research interest or theme are also encouraged. All papers at PMAC26 will be delivered in person.
