For what it is worth, I've been covering all this over on TikTok. Solidarity!

Just wonderful

#boycotteaa

THIS IS WHAT A UNION LOOKS LIKE. THIS IS WHAT SOLIDARITY LOOKS LIKE. THIS IS WHAT STANDING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT LOOKS LIKE. IGNORE AT YOUR PERIL!

Here's a clearer version:

And just a quick reminder for everyone boycotting the EAA that this doesn’t have to mean not presenting your research. Get in touch with us if you would like to host / help build an alternative space! We don’t have to wait for big subject orgs to get it, we can build alternatives. #boycottEAA

The European Association of Archaeologists Executive has worked hard to bury this result inside a long document. But we're going to make this triumph of compassion, common sense & demand for transparency known to all. Help us by sharing. @archagainstaparth.bsky.social @blacktrowel.bsky.social

🚨EAA per rollam vote results🚨

For anyone who doesn't want to trawl through a long document to find the results, I've compiled them here. Well done to everyone who voted for demonstrating strongly and clearly that change is needed 👏🏼👏🏼

Association of Archaeologists in Greece withdraws from EAA conference 2026 in Athens

Difficult to see how international archaeologists can now attend given such opposition

Very clear from Greek archaeology here. International archaeologists - cancel your summer jolly and step up to a basic ethical stance in your behaviours and practice on this. Do better - do something!

The EAA board lost

Update: I've now declined two invitations to participate at the Athens #EAA meeting #boycottEAA

EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF ARCHAEOLOGISTS EAA – thePipeLine

#boycotteaa This action is being called due to ongoing: lack of transparency about processes before and during the Belgrade conference; bullying and intimidation of members by email and at meetings; releasing member information without consent. For more info, see: thepipeline.info/blog/categor...

Stop sign in red over the EAA Athens call. In black the text reads: “Save EAA. Vote. Boycott.”

Tired of excuses and obfuscation from the EAA Executive?
Want a collegial and supportive society fit for its members?
Read our call for voting and boycotting below!
