BANEA: The British Association for Near Eastern Archaeology

"The Association exists to bring together professionals and non professionals with similar interests, to distribute and exchange information about recent developments in the field, and to make such information available to a wider public. These aims are achieved by various means. An annual Newsletter, which will generally contain brief reports on current British fieldwork in the region, information on universities and museums with relevant departments, news about exhibitions, new books, research in progress and grants, is distributed to all members. BANEA also organises Schools Days. A conference open to all members is also held every year and takes place in a different university or institution each time..."
