ACTA ARCHAEOLOGICA

ACTA ARCHAEOLOGICA was founded in 1930 by a group of distinguished scholars from all the Nordic countries to allow Scandinavian archaeology an independent international voice, whether dealing with Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Arctic, or any other part of the Globe. ACTA ARCHAEOLOGICA won its high prestige already with the first volumes. ACTA ARCHAEOLOGICA is a Class ‘A’ periodical and series in the list of the European Science Foundation.

A substantial part of the contributions to Acta Archaeologica is still on Northern European archaeology (including Baltic countries), others are on European and World themes of particular interest to the archaeology of Northern Europe. Emphasis is throughout on quality, originality of data and well–documented and illustrated studies, as well as on methodological and theoretical issues. Contributions by young scholars are invited.

The languages of ACTA ARCHAEOLOGICA are English, German, and French. All contributions are peer-reviewed by specialists. For preferred standards, see recent volumes.

The periodical and series of ACTA ARCHAEOLOGICA is published annually in one or two volumes, on paper as well as electronically. Digital-first publishing strategy is applied. Oper Source publishing is available for a fee after submitting the article. The high production quality of the volumes is a close match to their contents. ‘Originality and Lasting Value’ is the dictum of ACTA ARCHAEOLOGICA.

ACTA ARCHAEOLOGICA has only seen four general editors since its foundation, but a long list of archaeologists have acted as assistant editors, board members, and advisors; a number of technicians have secured the high quality of illustrations and type-setting.

ACTA ARCHAEOLOGICA is financially independent, building on subscriptions, individual contributions and support from various institutions and private foundations.
