AEGEAN ARCHAEOLOGY

Editorial Statement

Aegean Archaeology publishes annually field reports, synthetic studies, theoretical papers, notes, book reviews, and review articles that concern the Aegean world – the cultures and societies which comprised the civilizations of the Aegean basin and its bordering regions.  Contributions are accepted in traditional areas of the Greek and Anatolian Aegean sphere, principally Neolithic, Bronze Age and Early Iron Age-Archaic material cultures.  Encouraging a broad geographic, cultural, and chronological perspective, the editors also consider submissions in areas impinging physically, culturally, or theoretically on the Aegean realm – including the Balkans, Syria-Palestine, Egypt, North Africa, Italy, and Sicily – and in periods peripheral to the main chronological focus, should their contents be made directly and substantially relevant to the study of the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age Aegean.

The editors welcome especially reports presenting the results of any stage of fieldwork, including survey, excavation, ethnographic and environmental studies, and analyses of architecture or artifact, faunal, and floral assemblages.  Short preliminary or annual reports of surveys and excavations, and studies of artifact/ecofact assemblages from excavation and survey contexts receive priority consideration. Brief notes are also encouraged, including announcements of new data or recent discoveries; new inscriptions or tablets; short papers that are narrow in focus or provide the basis for discussion and debate.
