EAA Annual Meeting 2026

The motto "Resonant Pasts" encapsulates the idea that the material remnants of the past—objects, landscapes, architectures, and bodily remains—carry echoes of human experiences that continue to reverberate through time and space. These traces are not silent; they resonate with meaning, memory, and interpretation, varying across regions, periods, and cultural contexts. The phrase underscores how archaeology engages not only with what is preserved but also with what is felt, interpreted, and re-activated through scholarly and public engagement.

The visual identity of EAA2026 centers on a stylized wave emanating from a small fragment such as a sherd, a footprint, or a topographic feature, suggesting the resonance of the past within present land- and seascapes. Intersecting lines or radiating circles subtly reference both traces (paths, networks, strata) and resonance (vibration, continuity), while hinting at regional variability through the differentiated patterns across the logo. The selected color palette is inspired by the Mediterranean Sea connecting the visual concept to the region and the host city of Athens.
