The Post Medieval Archaeology Congress 2025
Save the date!

The seventh annual Post-Medieval Archaeology Congress will be hosted by the National Maritime Museum and the National Archaeology Museum in Lisbon, 11-13 April 2025.

The annual Congress is open to all researchers to report current and recent research on any aspect of post-medieval/later-historical 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 PMAC25 will be delivered in person.    

Please send paper or poster proposals with a title, abstract of up to 150 words, affiliation, and email address. Session proposals should include a title and abstract, as well as a list of speakers. Please send titles and abstracts to conference@spma.org.uk by 15 October 2024.
