Now based at University College London in the United Kingdom, it was founded by V. Gordon Childe, Stuart Piggott and Grahame Clark in 1935[1] but also traces its founding to the earlier Prehistoric Society of East Anglia[2] which began in 1908.[3] The society is a registered charity under English law.[4]
Membership is by subscription and includes the annual journal, Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society,[5] which continues Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia (1911-1934),[6] and bulletins from the newsletter, PAST, which is published in April, July and November. It also organises regular conferences, lectures and other events and makes grants for archaeological research.
