The 10th Worldwide Conference of the Society for East Asian Archaeology will be held next year in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. Please save the date and plan for your papers and visits.

Topics can cover the archaeology of East Asia and adjacent regions including Eurasia, North Asia, the Pacific and Southeast Asia as well as the East Asian diaspora worldwide. There will be concurrent sessions and plenty of space for posters. Our meeting will be hosted by the Department of Archaeology in the School of Geosciences.
The conference will take place on the historic campus of the University of Aberdeen (https://www.abdn.ac.uk), one of the ancient universities of Britain in one of the northernmost cities of the British Isles. Don’t worry, it is connected by air and train and road to the UK and Europe.
Are you also planning a trip to the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) meetings in Belgrade? That is 3-6 September 2025, so the SEAA will fit nicely right before.
We will have field trips! This involves a full day trip to visit some of Aberdeenshire's archaeological remains, including megalithic stone circles, Pictish carved stones, Iron Age settlement and more (available for all participants, packed lunch provided).
Additionally, the conference will facilitate several post-conference tours of 1 to 4 days in length. These will go forward depending on interest. Please check any that you are interested in:
One day guided trip around the tourist sites of Aberdeenshire, including a castle, lunch at regional hotel and visit of a whisky distillery. (c.£115 per person).
