East Anglian Archaeology

East Anglian Archaeology (EAA) is a British academic publishing series dedicated to the archaeology of the East of England. Founded in 1975, it publishes significant archaeological sites across East Anglia and remains a unique publishing format within the United Kingdom. The series is now academically refereed and provides an outlet for reports from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, and the Fen Basin area including Lincolnshire. Each report is published by the originating body in conjunction with ALGAO East, subject to approval by the editorial board. Reports initially appear as paper editions and, after one year, become free to download from the EAA website or from the Archaeology Data Service (ADS). EAA is an externally-funded project hosted by Norfolk County Council, based within the Historic Environment Service. Its editorial board comprises representatives from each unitary authority in the East of England region, as well as several freelance and commercial sector archaeologists. The board meets four times a year to decide policy, consider new publication proposals, appoint editors and academic readers, and review the progress of reports through the editorial stages. Potential contributors are encouraged to send synopses for consideration up to one week prior to each meeting. The series covers a wide geographical area, and a map on the EAA website allows users to browse most of the reports and follow links to their webpages. Reports covering large areas, such as the Fenland project series, corpuses of finds, overviews of site types, and research frameworks, are not included on the map. Books older than one year are generally available for download, while books still in print can be purchased as hard copies from Script Books. EAA continues to publish new titles and maintains an active editorial board, with forthcoming titles and board meetings scheduled through 2027.

East Anglian Archaeology was founded in 1975 to publish significant archaeological sites across East Anglia. From its inception, it served as a unique publishing format within the United Kingdom, dedicated to a single region's archaeology. Over time, the series evolved into an academically refereed outlet, expanding its coverage to include reports from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, and the Fen Basin area including Lincolnshire. Each report is published by the originating body in conjunction with ALGAO East, subject to approval by the editorial board. The series initially appears in paper editions, and after one year, reports become freely available for download from the EAA website or the Archaeology Data Service (ADS). The project is externally funded and hosted by Norfolk County Council within the Historic Environment Service. The editorial board, comprising representatives from each unitary authority in the East of England region and freelance and commercial archaeologists, meets four times a year to decide policy, consider new proposals, appoint editors and academic readers, and review report progress. The board has scheduled meetings through 2027, and the series continues to publish new titles and maintain its role as a key outlet for East Anglian archaeology.
