In memory of our much-missed friend and inspiration, the British Archaeological Association will be holding a conference to celebrate our former secretary, John McNeill, on 12-14 December 2025.
The conference opens for registration at 12.30pm on Friday 12 December at Rewley House, 1 Wellington Square, Oxford OX1 2JA.
The President’s Welcome and Introduction will be at 2.00pm followed by the first lecture at 2.15pm.
Tea & coffee refreshments will be served during the lectures and a buffet lunch will be provided on Saturday and Sunday in addition to dinner on two evenings. The conference will also include an evening reception.
Participants will need to arrange their own travel and accommodation. Oxford is well provided with hotels and B&Bs, and further information will be supplied by the conference organisers along with the booking form. These will be sent out later this month on our website.
Speakers will include:
Eric Fernie, Nicola Coldstream, Lloyd De Beer, Fernando Gutiérrez Baños, Alexandrina Buchanan, Róisin Astell, Arturo Carlo Quintavalle, Sally Dormer, Richard Gem, Gerhardt Lutz, Alison Perchuk, Marcello Angheben, Julian Luxford, Rosa Bacile, Costanza Beltrami, Richard Halsey, Øystein Ekroll, Jordi Camps, Sandy Heslop, Neil Stratford, John Munns, Verónica Abenza, Tom Nickson, David Robinson, Zoë Opaciĉ, Alexandra Gajewski and John Goodall.
Scholarships:
A limited number of scholarships for students are available to help them cover the cost of the conference.
