The
European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) is a membership-based association
open to all archaeologists and other related or interested individuals
or bodies. The EAA currently has over 1100 members on its database from
41 countries world-wide working in prehistory, classical, medieval and
later archaeology. They include academics, aerial archaeologists, environmental
archaeologists, field archaeologists, heritage managers, historians, museum
curators, researchers, scientists, teachers, conservators, underwater archaeologists
and students of archaeology.
The
Association is a fully democratic body, governed by an Executive Board
elected by the Full members and is representative of the different regions
of Europe. At all times the EAA adheres to its Statutes.
The
main forum for EAA members to interact is represented by the Annual Meetings.
These lively and well-attended conferences, held every September in a different
country of Europe, are one of the highlights of the archaeological year.
The
official language of the EAA is English, but if you have difficulties with
English you can communicate with us in any major European language.
The
Association organises conferences and seminars and acts as an advisory
body on all issues relating to the archaeology of Europe. The EAA Annual
Meetings offer a unique opportunity for archaeologists from all over Europe
and beyond to exchange ideas and opinions on archaeological practice and
theory following the aim to contribute to a continuing discussion concerning
the numerous identities and contexts of European archaeology.

MATTERS
The European
Archaeological Heritage Prize
Call for Nominations
The
European Association of Archaeologists instituted the European Archaeological
Heritage Prize in 1999. 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 2011 will be awarded during the Annual Meeting of the EAA
in Oslo, Norway, on 14 September 2011.
The
EAA Committee for the European Archaeological Heritage Prize consists of:
Carsten Paludan-Müller (chair), Norway, Margaret Gowen, Ireland, Anastasia
Tourta, Greece, Luboš Jiráň, Czech Republic, and Mircea Angelescu, Romania.
The
Committee will discuss all serious proposals for the award. Nominations
may be made by any of the following:
-
Members of the Association (all grades of membership)
-
Professors and heads of departments of archaeology in European universities
and institutes
-
Directors of governmental heritage management organisations and agencies
in European countries (members of the Council of Europe)
-
Non-governmental archaeological, heritage, and professional organisations
in European countries.
Nominations,
with full citations, should be sent to the EAA Secretariat, c/o Institute
of Archaeology CAS, Letenská 4, 118 01 Prague 1, Czech Republic, or by
e-mail to eaa@arup.cas.cz. The closing
