Islamic archaeology at 14th ICAANE June 2025, Lyon

The Organizing Committee invites all scholars working on subjects related to Near Eastern Islamic Archaeology to participate in the 14th International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East (ICAANE), to be held at Lyon 2 University, Lyon, on  2-7 June 2025. 

The session on Islamic Archaeology aims primarily at providing an overview of the results achieved by recent archaeological research. As in past meetings, papers related to the principal themes of the congress are encouraged. Historical synthesis based on archaeological evidence will be particularly welcomed. Simple single-site field reports should be avoided. 

Geographically, the Islamic session will cover the same areas as the main Congress: from the Eastern Mediterranean to Iran and from Anatolia to Arabia; it will also include Egypt. Historically, the Islamic session can stretch as late as the Ottoman period.
