The Prehistoric Society

Alison Sheridan

Welcome to the website for the Prehistoric Society

I am delighted to announce that the winner of the prestigious EUROPA Prize for 2012 will be Professor Richard Bradley of Reading University. The EUROPA Prize was established by Professor Grahame Clark in 1992 and is presented annually to celebrate outstanding contributions to European archaeology. Professor Bradley will be the 21st recipient. To celebrate this, there will be the now-customary EUROPA conference, held jointly with (and at) Reading University on 8–9 June. Book early to avoid disappointment!

In the meantime, on behalf of Council I wish you all a very happy and peaceful holiday season.

Dr Alison Sheridan, President
