| Membership of BANEA is open to anyone who is interested in
the archaeology, languages and history of the Ancient Near East. The Association
exists to bring together professionals and non professionals with similar
interests, to distribute and exchange information about recent developments
in the field, and to make such information available to a wider public.
These aims are achieved by various means. An annual Newsletter, which will generally contain brief reports on current British fieldwork in the region, information on universities and museums with relevant departments, news about exhibitions, new books, research in progress and grants, is distributed to all members. BANEA also organises Schools Days. A conference open to all members is also held every year and takes place in a different university or institution each time. The next conference will be held in Birmingham, 1-3 April 2007. Details and registration forms will be sent to members. Membership of BANEA also entitles you to membership of one of the Regional Groups which organise their own programmes of lectures and events. For further information please write to: Dr Louise Steel Hon. Secretary BANEA, Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Wales, Lampeter, Ceredigion, Wales, SA48 7ED. Your subscription helps us achieve our aims and fund these activities Subscriptions for 2007 are now due. Student grants for conferences |
