I am pleased to announce the publication of

edited by Benjamin Gearey, Suzi Richer, Seren Griffiths and Michelle Farrell

This issue reflects on changes and developments in environmental archaeology, demonstrating environmental archaeology as a wide-ranging, often creative discipline that integrates into contemporary research.  The editors would also like to acknowledge funding from both the National Heritage Science Forum and the University of Reading which helped to bring two of the articles to publication.
