June 

The deadline for submissions of nominations for the European Archaeological Heritage Prize 2013 has been extended until 24 June. An independent committee awards the prize annually to an individual, institution, (local or regional) government or a (European or international) officer or body for an outstanding contribution to the protection and presentation of the European archaeological heritage. In principle, this can be any contribution that is outstanding and of European scope or importance, it does not have to be a scientific contribution. The prize for 2013 will be awarded during the Annual Meeting of the EAA in Pilsen, Czech Republic, on 4 September 2013. CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

Dear members,

Europe's archaeological heritage is under threat. Illicit trafficking and the trade of objects from European sites is recognised as an urgent matter. European regulations are not strict enough or leave only small timeslices for reaction.

The European Union has called for a Public Consultation. You will find more under the following link:

HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en

Please be engaged and send your comments directly through the contact provided. Your activity will be the measure for further activities by the European Union

Best wishes

Friedrich Lüth
EAA President 
 

The European Journal of Archaeology is now available on-line to all current EAA members
 

New Publisher for the European Journal of Archaeology

I am pleased to announce that the EAA's Executive Board, at its recent Board Meeting in Frankfurt, selected Maney to become our new publisher for the European Journal of Archaeology. Our President, Fritz Lueth, consequently signed a publishing contract with Maney last Thursday, witnessed by our Secretary, Mark Pearce, and myself, as General Editor of the EJA. Amongst the various publishers who submitted proposals to become our new publisher, Maney stood out for sharing most convincingly our ambition to enhance further the quality, reputation, readership and impact of our international peer-reviewed Journal. Maney Publishing is based in the UK and specialises in publishing academic journals, both in print and - importantly - online. They have a particular strength in publishing archaeology journals, such as the Journal of Field Archaeology, Environmental Archaeology and Public Archaeology. Maney will be writing to you in due course about the new EJA for 2012, the first issue of which will be published in April 2012, including details of how to access the Journal online.
As for 2011, the print version of the first two issues of EJA 14 (1-2) was distributed to Members attending the Oslo meeting. The print version of EJA 14.3 (which is currently at the printers) will be sent to you by post in late December, along with a copy of EJA 14.1-2 for those of you who were unable to attend the Olso meeting. The entire volume of EJA 14 will also be published online by Maney before the end of December, and made available to you.

I believe that we have now opened an exciting new chapter in the history of our Journal. Please remember, it is your Journal. Its success depends upon a regular flow of new, high quality submissions of articles on all aspects of European archaeology, irrespective of period, region or topic. Both I and the Journal's dynamic Editorial Board therefore look forward to receiving, and working with you on the publication of, your next major article. With Maney's help, we can guarantee that your work receives the widespread international recognition that it deserves.

Do please write to me at the following email address if you have any questions regarding the Journal or ideas for new articles: Robin.Skeates@durham.ac.uk.
 

With best wishes,

Robin Skeates
General Editor, EJA

The Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) creates partnership with EAA

In September 2011, representatives from the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) attended the 17th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) in Oslo. Although individual members from both the AIA and EAA have attended and presented at each other's' annual meetings over the years, this was the first time that the AIA was formally represented at an EAA Annual Meeting. AIA representatives met with several members of the EAA Executive Committee and discussed the possibility of greater cooperation and joint programming between the two organizations. The AIA would like to see this as the beginning of a long and mutually beneficial partnership that will allow for a greater and more efficient exchange of ideas and scholarship between the two groups. 

To mark the formal start of this relationship, the AIA and EAA are embarking on several joint initiatives. These include publicizing each other's events to their respective memberships, encouraging members to submit papers and participate in each other's conferences, and sending materials for publication and making announcements in each other's newsletters. For immediate consideration by EAA members, the AIA is happy to announce that EAA members who wish to attend the AIA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia from 5-8 January 2012 will be able to do so at the discounted rate generally reserved for AIA members.

Representatives of the AIA look forward to attending the EAA meeting in 2012 and welcome EAA members to all Institute events and programs.
