We are very excited to host the 2024 Southeastern Archaeological Conference in Williamsburg, VA! This is the first time SEAC will be held in Virginia. The Historic Triangle – made up of Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown – is home to a number of nationally significant archaeological projects and sites, that include groundbreaking approaches to engaging with historically marginalized groups including enslaved Africans, African Americans, and Virginia Indians.

Due to the preponderance of things to do, Travel + Leisure recently ranked Williamsburg as one of the best cities in the US! For those who want to spend some time away from the historic attractions, Busch Gardens and Water Country USA are also located in Williamsburg and King’s Dominion is an hour away. In nearby Richmond and Norfolk, there are a number of science, art, and historical museums to suit anyone’s interest. The Mariners’ Museum and Park, located 30 minutes away from the conference venue in Newport News, is a must-see and only costs $1 for admission. Nearby historic attractions located within a few hours include James Madison’s Montpelier, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, George Washington’s Mount Vernon, Stratford Hall, American Civil War Museum, and Historic St. Mary’s City.
