Ten of the eleven papers in this volume were first presented at the conference which gives its name to the volume, held at the University of East Anglia in 1989. The conference was convened primarily to celebrate over 20 years of research by the professional archaeological units of the East Anglian region. The themes reviewed here centre on relationships, and around the key words, landscape, regionality, territory, hinterland, boundaries, urbanism and colonisation.
