Abstract

The Association for Environmental Archaeology can look back on 25 years of bringing together people working in environmental archaeology and related subjects. During this time, more that 400 international members have joined the Association, profiting from its platform of meetings and conferences, its regular newsletter and, more recently, its internet website and, perhaps most important of all, access to its peer-reviewed journal ‐ Environmental Archaeology. In a European context, this journal is outstanding because it offers the opportunity to present the results of broad interdisciplinary archaeological research. In doing so it caters for a trend in environmental archaeological research in the course of the last 25 years that is amply illustrated by this volume — namely a movement away from isolated pieces of scientific study towards broadly integrated and interdependent research programmes. The articles in the present volume (and two articles in the forthcoming volume 11 . 2) are based on lectures and posters presented to the jubilee conference held at Bad Buchau in September 2004. The contributions illustrate a diverse and multidisciplinary approach to studies of the interrelation between, and changes in, the economy and environment during the Neolithic and Bronze Age. It was a great honour for the Federseemuseum Bad
