Meeting 2026

Mediterranean Archaeology Day

Showcase your research and keep up to date with archaeological research on the Mediterranean in the Netherlands!

Presentations can cover a new fieldwork idea, an evocative object, an ethnographic vignette, a micro-history, a theoretical experiment, a legacy project or a data overview – as long as they can be summarised in a 10-minute pitch. We invite both established scholars and new enthusiasts to present and listen.

platform & TMA

This initiative is organised by Platform Argos and Tijdschrift voor Mediterrane Archeologie and hosted and supported by the Groningen Institute of Archaeology.

Various interuniversity platforms for presentation and discussion have emerged in the field of Mediterranean archaeology as practised in the Netherlands. Examples include the Babesch Archaeologists’ Day, the Mediterranean Archaeological Discussion Group (MAD), Fieldwork Day, Survey Day and the numerous activities of TMA and ARCHON. We are building upon these initiatives with this event.
