Dear
EAA member,
Ghent
University, Belgium, and the Ename Center for Public Archaeology and Heritage
Presentation, Belgium, are working on a research project dealing with the
potentials (and the threats) of the use of new information and communication
technologies for the interpretation of heritage sites. More specifically,
they want to examine how the 'ICOMOS Charter for the Interpretation of
cultural heritage sites', aka 'Ename Charter', can be applied to off-site
(technologically mediated) presentation and interpretation of heritage.
Results
of this research will be presented at the upcoming Annual Meeting of the
EAA in The Hague. Because the theme of the research is directly relevant
to the European community of archaeologists the EAA invites its membership
to participate at filling in the online survey, which can be accessed here:
http://www.mict.be/onderzoek
A report
of the results can be requested by leaving an e-mail address after filling
in the survey.
Thanking
you for your cooperation,
The
research team and EAA Secretariat
Sylvie

Heritage Prize in 1999 and has awarded it annually to a person, institution,

queries you may have.

Dear EAA member,
those of you who have been
long standing members of the EAA will have realized that the organization
of the EAA membership year and format of the EAA Annual Meetings have remained
unchanged over many years. The EAA Executive board has now undertaken the
initiative to revitalize the EAA schedule; the main modifications affecting
you as members (highlighted in red) concern earlier deadlines for session
and paper / poster proposals. This step aims at offering you a better structured
and more attractive conference. We believe that you will observe the new
dates and will enjoy an even better Annual Meeting in The Hague, Netherlands.

16th EAA Annual Meeting
in The Hague |
Dear
colleagues,
Thanks
to your involvement the European Association of Archaeologists has completed
its 15th year of existence with a very good outcomes and notable changes
for the coming year.
To
name just a few:
- This
and the next year will have seen major change-over in the composition and
work of the EAA Executive and Editorial boards, from a new President, mr.
Friedrich Lüth, through new EJA Editor and TEA Editor, to a newly
defined function of the Editorial board.
- The
on-line membership service continues to develop, and with the transfer
of the EAA web page to a new server any difficulties you may have experienced
this year will be over. You can access your personal entry at http://www.e-a-a.org/password.htm
- if you need assistance with your login information, I will be happy to
assist you. Please note that thanks to your prompt renewal, your EAA membership
remains uninterrupted until the beginning of 2011.
- With
volume 12, published recently as a single issue, the European Journal of
Archaeology has caught up with the publication delay, for which we extend
our thanks principally to the outgoing General Editor, mr. Alan Saville.
- The
conference in Riva del Garda without doubt belonged among the best EAA
meetings ever, and the next meeting in The Hague (1-5 September 2010; http://www.eaa2010.nl)
will surely keep up with the high standard. Please note a new, earlier
timetable of session proposals submission and registration, and enroll
yourself now already!
We
thank you for your involvement in EAA in 2009 and 2010 and appreciate your
support.

Dear
EAA Members,
Hello
from the editor of TEA: The European Archaeologist! Yes, it's that
time of the year again! Thank you to all who contributed to TEA 31,
circulated to members in June 2009. TEA 32 will be circulated to
members in November and I am contacting you all now to remind you that
the deadline for contributions has been extended till Friday 23 October.
Please forward items for inclusion to me via e-mail at michael@discoveryprogramme.ie.
TEA
publishes
short articles (in the region of 500 words) relating to current
research
projects and heritage issues in the various countries and regions
across Europe. If you have something that you would like to include, please
send me your report. Please include illustrations (about one for every
150-200 words or so), where appropriate, and where copyright allows! You
may also use TEA to advertise or report on conferences, seminars, workshops
or
events that you believe are of interest to EAA members.
Session
Organisers from the Riva Conference are encouraged to write
a summary of their session(s) (c.300-word) for TEA 32. These summaries
are of particular interest to those of our members who were not able to
attend the conference or the specific sessions in question. Feedback from
the summaries from the Malta conference, published in TEA 30, was
very positive.
Similarly,
could all Chairs of Working Parties, Round Tables and other Committees
please e-mail me a report on their most recent meetings, discussions and
developments. Such reports enable members to keep up-to-date with the work
of these important groups, and to make useful and informed suggestions
and contributions.
If
you have any other comments or suggestions relating to this or any other
issue of TEA, please do not hesitate to contact me.
With
every best wish and many thanks to you all for your continued involvement,
Michael
