Levant

Aims & Scope

Levant is an international peer-reviewed journal of the Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL), a British Academy-sponsored institute with research centres in Amman and Jerusalem, and which also supports research in Syria, Lebanon and Cyprus.

Levant welcomes papers dealing with the past of the Middle East (Palaeolithic–Ottoman) from a range of disciplinary perspectives including anthropology, archaeology, history and heritage studies.

While contributions to Levant should be in English, the journal actively seeks to publish papers from researchers of any nationality who are working in its areas of interest.

Prospective authors are encouraged to contact the Honorary Editor, Professor Graham Philip, Department of Archaeology, Durham University, South Road, Durham DH1 3LE, UK, to discuss potential submissions.
