Abstract

The European Association of Archaeologists (EAA; e-a-a.org/eaa2019) met in Bern to hold its 25th Annual Meeting under the motto Beyond paradigms (Criado-Boado and Huglin 2019). EAA currently has more than 2500 members from more than 50 countries of which more than 1800 took part in this year's conference. The six themes of the conference reached from Global Change and Archaeology to Digital Archaeology, Science and Multidisciplinarity. Each of the themes not only received the attention of several sessions, but was also addressed by a keynote lecture. Due to the high number of sessions (166) and presentations – this year over 1500 – there were more than 30 parallel sessions. Thanks to the local hosts, Albert Hafner and Amelie Alterauge, and to the EAA Secretariat from Prague, the meeting ran exceptionally smoothly.
