The Prehistoric Society

Alison Sheridan

Welcome to the website for the Prehistoric Society

The 2012 AGM will take place at 4 pm on Saturday 9 June, during the Europa conference at Reading University. Click here to see the AGM and please note that it includes two Motions upon which the assembled Members will be invited to vote. These concern the streamlining of Council.

The Europa conference, honouring this year’s winner Professor Richard Bradley, promises to be a fantastic occasion and it has been booking up quickly. Equally exciting is the Prehistoric Society Postgraduate Conference on Friday 8 June – so don’t miss out on your chance to take part in a feast of scholarship! Hurry: booking for both events closes on 27 May and it will not be possible to pay on the door.

Dr Alison Sheridan, President
