Aims & Scope
Bioarchaeology of the Near East (printed version ISSN 1898-9403, online ISSN 1899-962X) is published annually in one volume.
The aim of the journal is to promote research on the history of human populations inhabiting South-Western Asia mainly Mesopotamia, Syria, Palestine, Anatolia, Iran, and Egypt) and on interactions between humans and their environments in this region.
It publishes original contributions in which methods of bioarchaeology (defined here as the research on human, animal and plant remains) are used to answer historical questions.
Three kinds of texts are considered for publication: original papers, general review articles (especially those focussing on methodological issues), and short fieldwork reports.
Papers of two first categories are subject to peer review.
The editors welcome contributions focusing on the ecological background of historical processes which took place in past populations in the region where most ancient civilisations of the Old World emerged.
This includes large-scale studies e.g., on diet and nutrition, domestication of plants and animals, human migrations, temporal changes or regional differences in the quality of life, disease patterns, but also local studies or diagnostic case studies of distinguished individuals.
Papers using not only biological, but also archaeological and textual evidence are particularly appreciated.
For more effective exchange of information the journal also includes short fieldwork reports on biological remains excavated at archaeological sites located in the region of interest.
