From our President. Introduction of TEA 59

Abstract

This year the EAA celebrates its 25th year in existence. This occasion allows us to reflect on a very satisfactory achievement. Our founding Ljubljana meeting in 1994 had 150 attendees. This year 2018 we are 3300. The anniversary is also an occasion when we must reflect carefully on the history of the EAA, on its contribution to Archaeology and the contribution of Archaeology to our culture and our societies. We must also reflect on how we can develop and contribute in the near future, being aware of anything we do is “ancient to the future”, as stated the slogan of an important music ensemble that celebrates this year its 50 anniversary.
