BANEA
The British Association for Near Eastern Archaeology
BANEA 2024 Conference
University of Glasgow, 3-5 January 2024
The British Association of Near Eastern Archaeology (BANEA) is issuing a public apology for a lack of oversight related to the inclusion of one paper in the Achaemenid Environments workshop organised in the BANEA 2024 conference at the University of Glasgow, 3-5 January 2024. The presenters of the paper are associated with Ariel University which is located in an Israeli settlement built in the Occupied Palestinian territories. BANEA is aware of the role of Ariel University in normalising Israeli occupation, and so does not recognise Ariel University as a legitimate academic partner.
We refer you to the Israeli Academics for Peace website for a detailed assessment of the status of Ariel University.
BANEA is currently reviewing our conference protocols, abstract acceptance and grant award processes, to strengthen oversight of our event programmes.
The University of Glasgow is proud to host the 2024 BANEA annual meeting on the 3-5th January 2024.
