Environmental archaeology

Environmental Archaeology: The Journal of Human Palaeoecology (EA) aims to publish contributions on all aspects of environmental archaeology, from methodology to synthesis and theory. It is published four times a year, and Association of Environmental Archaeology (AEA) members receive a hard copy and have online access to all back issues via the members'-only web pages. See the journal website to browse the contents lists of all issues.  

EA is included in more than 12 abstract and index services, and  authors can choose to publish gold open access.

EA is an international peer-reviewed journal that welcomes contributions that consider the interaction between humans and their environment in the archaeological and historical past. This broad scope embraces papers covering a range of environmental specialisms within archaeology, such as archaeobotany, archaeozoology (both vertebrate and invertebrate), palynology, geoarchaeology and biological anthropology, as well as more synthetic and theoretical approaches to the past human environment. Assemblage and site reports are not encouraged unless they can demonstrate significant new insights into environmental archaeology. 

Contributions may take the form of substantial research papers or shorter reports and may include, for instance, new techniques, philosophical discussions, current controversies and suggestions for new research. EA also provides its readership with critical appraisal of recent academic scholarship through its regular books review section. 

The editor of EA is Tim Mighall  (University of Aberdeen, UK;  t.mighall@abdn.ac.uk).  Information on submitting an article is available via the journal website.

Please contact the book review editor, Edward Schofield (University of Aberdeen, UK;  j.e.schofield@abdn.ac.uk),  if you are interested in writing a review. Book reviews should be limited to about 1000 words, and should be produced within 6 months of receiving the review copy. 

The full editorial board is listed on the journal website.
