The conference which inspired this issue and volume 11 met at the Society of Antiquaries in London, in September 2016, under the title ‘Environment and Society in the First Millennium AD’. It was held in conjunction with the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, Climate Change and History Research Initiative, and the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. The conference was organised by Adam Izdebski and Luke Lavan, assisted by Michael Mulryan. Financial support for these two volumes came from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Poland, through the National Programme for the Development of the Humanities for the years 2016–19. Our thanks also go out to the many people with whom we have discussed different aspects of this project for their advice and encouragement, and to the referees who read the articles contained here and offered many helpful comments.
