Geoarchaeology is an interdisciplinary journal published six times per year (in January, March, May, July, September and November). It presents the results of original research at the methodological and theoretical interface between archaeology and the geosciences and includes within its scope: interdisciplinary work focusing on understanding archaeological sites, their environmental context, and particularly site formation processes and how the analysis of sedimentary records can enhance our understanding of human activity in Quaternary environments. Manuscripts should examine the interrelationship between archaeology and the various disciplines within Quaternary science and the Earth Sciences more generally, including, for example: geology, geography, geomorphology, pedology, climatology, oceanography, geochemistry, geochronology, and geophysics. We also welcome papers that deal with the biological record of past human activity through the analysis of faunal and botanical remains and palaeoecological reconstructions that shed light on past human-environment interactions. The journal also welcomes manuscripts concerning the examination and geological context of human fossil remains as well as papers that employ analytical techniques to advance understanding of the composition and origin or material culture such as, for example, ceramics, metals, lithics, building stones, plasters, and cements.

Hesperia is published quarterly by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.

The geographic limits are those of the entire Greek world, with no chronological restrictions. Articles presenting primary research, interdisciplinary studies, theoretical discussions, and syntheses of topics and problems are all featured. Studies on the history and practice of archaeology and ethnography in the Mediterranean are also included. No page limit exists for contributions. All submissions are refereed in a double-blind process by two outside reviewers and a member of the American School Publications Committee. Articles accepted for publication appear roughly a year from the time of submission.

The Holocene is a high impact, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to fundamental scientific research at the interface between the long Quaternary record and the natural and human-induced environmental processes operating at the Earth's surface today. The Holocene emphasizes environmental change over the last ca 11 500 years.

International Journal of Historical Archaeology is the first authoritative resource for scholarly research on this rapidly growing field. Articles - contributed by an international body of experts - contain current theoretical, methodological, and site-specific research. Exploring a wide-range of topics, articles focus on the post-1492 period and includes studies reaching into the Late Medieval period. In addition, the journal makes global connections between sites, regions, and continents.International Journal of Historical Archaeology will fulfill the needs of archaeologists, students, historians, and historical preservationists as well as practionioners of other closely related disciplines.For more detailed information about this new journal, including complete submission instructions, please visit the http://www.ilstu.edu/~ceorser/ijha.html International Journal of Historical Archaeology Web Site.
