The Association of Archaeologists in Greece, representing all the archaeologists with permanent contracts in the state sector, is withdrawing its participation in the organizing of the @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social conference in Athens..Open letter, in English, below.
archaeol.gr/anoichti-epi...
I will be boycotting EAA2026.
I have no confidence that this will be a safe and democratic space to discuss archaeology in the current socio-political context, defined by genocides and violence. This is not against the Athens organizers, it's a protest against the leadership and its actions.
The second union of archaeologists in Greece taking a stance on the EAA saga. They represent the contract archaeologists, the largest sector; they call for a boycott: the majority of the local archaeological community in Greece does not support the Athens EAA meeting, under the current leadership.
If you care about democracy and the ethics of archaeology, and believe that scholars should take a stance on the on-going genocide, please sign and circulate.
