AEA AWARDS

Don Brothwell Prize

Don Brothwell (1933–2016) was a founder member of the Association of Environmental Archaeology (AEA), one of the  ‘gang of four’ who established the Association in 1979. Along with Geoffrey Dimbleby, Don gave the opening paper, Environmental aspects of coasts and Islands: a justification, at the first annual conference in Lancaster (UK).


Don was a pioneer in archaeological science, and in his honour the AEA  has set up the Don Brothwell Prize, which is awarded to  the best paper published in Environmental Archaeology each year. The prize comprises free electronic access to the paper for a period of 2 years following announcement of the award. 


The journal’s editorial board select a shortlist of 5 to 8 papers that, in their opinion, form the best and most significant papers published that year.  Peter Gane, Taylor and Francis’ managing editor, then choses the winner from the shortlist. 


An obituary for Professor Don Brothwell was published by the University of York.

Don Brothwell, University of York
