The International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East has been organised since 1998 by the scientific community of scholars working on and in the Near East. It is an exceptional forum for dialogue and scientific exchanges between all colleagues involved in the study of the Ancient Near East.
After twelve years, the ICAANE comes back to France to the city of lights Lyon. From June 2 to 7 2025, the fourteenth International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East will take place in Lyon. It is organised by the Université Lumière Lyon 2 and the Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée.
The 14th ICAANE Lyon proposes eight thematic sessions covering interdisciplinary research and new approaches of the archaeology of the Ancient Near East, from Prehistoric to Islamic times.
Advances in Near Eastern Archaeology
Natural resources and anthropised landscapes
Heritage and archaeology
The materiality of inscribed and figurative objects
Neolithic paths
Life and death: Human behaviour and practices
Characterizing culture?
Islamic archaeology
The Organising Committee of the 14th ICAANE warmly invites scholars working on subjects related to Near Eastern Archaeology to take part in the forthcoming event. We encourage early Career Researchers and PHD students to participate.
Let us hope that our next Meeting will take place in a peaceful world.
