Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean

Aims & Scope

The archaeology of ancient civilizations of the Eastern Mediterranean, including the Near East and northeastern Africa is at the core of the thematic and territorial scope of this academic journal.

Recently, this has been stretched to cover the archaeology of Ethiopia and Tunisia, the Western Mediterranean, Arabia and the Gulf region, and Armenia, reflecting expanding Polish research in these regions.

The “chronosphere” remains broad, from the Stone and Bronze Ages in the Near East to the rise of Islam in Africa in the 17th century.

The focus is on new research, which includes the newest field discoveries as well as thematic in-depth studies on selected issues of interest to the archaeological community at large.

The journal also seeks to fill gaps in unpublished research, inviting articles that revisit old fieldwork still in need of study and presentation.

Papers on new documentation methodologies in field archaeology, conservation studies, and archaeological heritage management are also accepted if they are part of or derive from the archaeological presentations in the journal.
