Archeologie Medievale

Aims & Scope

The journal Archéologie médiévale was created in 1971, at the Centre Michel de Boüard, like the English journal Medieval Archeology created 14 years earlier, it appeared in the context of the emergence of medieval archaeology.

All the journals born then (Germany, Italy ...) have been framed on a similar model, with the same objective: to be, for their country, the main reference in medieval archaeology in the eyes of the international community.

All these journals include a section devoted to archaeological news: Archéologie médiévale contains a chronicle of medieval excavations in France.

Acknowledging the qualities of this publication, the CNRS brought the journal, in 1982, into the narrow circle of journals published by “Les Éditions du CNRS”, now “CNRS Éditions”; it is also supported by the Ministry of Culture.

Archéologie médiévale is the only international journal of medieval archaeology in France.
