Advances in Archaeomaterials

ISSN: 2667-1360

Archaeological sciences are now more than ever a fully integrated aspect within the field of archaeology. With the enormous wealth of techniques, methodologies, theoretical approaches, and regional case studies that have been published over the past two decades, it is time that a journal dedicated to reporting the "state of the field" of various archaeometric sub-disciplines be issued. For example, review articles can cover the use of a specific technique or methodology within a class or type of materials, a region, or some combination thereof that reports on a body of scientific approaches to the materiality of the past. Beyond excavation, it is these techniques that have delivered some of the greatest archaeological discoveries in the past two decades, and regional or methodological syntheses stand to greatly enhance the dissemination of cutting edge case studies within a broader context. Additionally, Advances in Archaeomaterials will also welcome original research, as long as it is contextualized within an expanded introductory framework, in the fields of archaeological science, cultural and industrial heritage, science and technology studies including history of science, and conservation science-as long as the focus is archaeometric research on human-made materials. Finally, special issues can be published in certain circumstances (contact the editors with queries), and manuscripts of interest to a broad audience published in Chinese can be translated into English and published as an article.This will be the only journal dedicated to:Articles synthesizing archaeological science research results in a regionArticles synthesizing archaeological science research results for a method or techniqueArticles synthesizing archaeological science research results of specific ancient material classes (organic and inorganic)Original research in the fields of archaeological science, cultural and industrial heritage, science and technology studies including history of science, and conservation sciencePublishing English translations of Chinese scholarship to make it available to non-Chinese audiences.Special issues can be published in certain circumstances (contact the editors with queries).Editorial Board

Archaeological Research in Asia

ISSN: 2352-2267
5 Year impact factor: 1.2
Impact factor: 0.9

Archaeological Research in Asia presents high quality scholarly research conducted in between the Bosporus and the Pacific on a broad range of archaeological subjects of importance to audiences across Asia and around the world. The journal covers the traditional components of archaeology: placing events and patterns in time and space; analysis of past lifeways; and explanations for cultural processes and change. To this end, the publication will highlight theoretical and methodological advances in studying the past, present new data, and detail patterns that reshape our understanding of it. Archaeological Research in Asia publishes work on the full temporal range of archaeological inquiry from the earliest human presence in Asia with a special emphasis on time periods under-represented in other venues. Journal contributions are of three kinds: articles, case reports and short communications. Full length articles should present synthetic treatments, novel analyses, or theoretical approaches to unresolved issues. Case reports present basic data on subjects that are of broad interest because they represent key sites, sequences, and subjects that figure prominently, or should figure prominently, in how scholars both inside and outside Asia understand the archaeology of cultural and biological change through time. Short communications present new findings (e.g., radiocarbon dates) that are important to the extent that they reaffirm or change the way scholars in Asia and around the world think about Asian cultural or biological history.

First Nations Health and Wellbeing - The Lowitja Journal

ISSN: 2949-8406

First Nations* Health and Wellbeing - The Lowitja Journal is the official journal of the Lowitja Institute, Australia's first community-controlled research institute. It is a community-controlled, international, community member, inter- and multi-disciplinary peer-reviewed open access journal that is dedicated to expanding access to First Nations research and improve the health and wellbeing of First Nations communities around the world. We focus on primary research papers, systematic reviews, and informed short reports and community contributions on all aspects of the science, culture, philosophy and practice regarding health and wellbeing for First Nations communities.All papers must include substantive contributions of First Nations authors and will be peer reviewed by experts in the field of the submitted work. While we are based in Australia and governed by the Australian National Indigenous Health Leadership Alliance, our Editorial Board is international and we welcome papers from First Nations researchers from all over the world, reflecting our global perspective and reach.We recognise that structured knowledge systems of First Nations Peoples, developed over millennia to underpin thriving and healthy communities, offer solutions to the survival and flourishing of our people. Despite targeted settler-colonial policies and practices to dismantle control or eliminate First Nations knowledge, leaving a legacy of entrenched disadvantage and health inequities, we are resisting colonisation. The resurgence of First Nations knowledge of health and wellbeing is best placed in journals that are led by, and determined by First Nations Peoples and their communities.Specific topic areas include: social and cultural determinants of health, medicine, epidemiology, medical anthropology and sociology, medical history, Indigenous data governance, healthcare delivery, evaluation of programs, maternal and child health, diseases and infections, Closing the Gap and policy directions in health, poverty, racism, disabilities, LGBTQI+, Two Spirit, Takatãpui; climate change, decolonisation, capacity building and training, addictions, alcohol and substance abuse, suicide and self-harm, intimate-partner violence, sexual violence, child protection issues and stolen generations. This is not an exhaustive list, and the editors will consider articles on any issue relating to First Nations wellbeing.Our readers include community members, academics, educators, practitioners/clinicians, policy-makers, decision-makers and researchers with an interest in the health and wellbeing of First Nations communities.*We use the term ‘First Nations’ to refer to any Indigenous or ‘First People's’ inhabiting or existing in a land from the earliest of times or before the arrival of colonists. This was chosen by consensus of the representative Australian National Indigenous Health Leadership Alliance Board, and is used with the deepest respect for the autonomy and diversity of nations represented within this broadly inclusive term.

International Journal of Paleopathology

ISSN: 1879-9817
5 Year impact factor: 1.3
Impact factor: 1.3

The Official Journal of the Paleopathology AssociationPaleopathology is the study and application of methods and techniques for investigating diseases and related conditions from skeletal and soft tissue remains. The International Journal of Paleopathology (IJPP) will publish original and significant articles on human and animal (including hominids) disease, based upon the study of physical remains, including osseous, dental, and preserved soft tissues at a range of methodological levels, from direct observation to molecular, chemical, histological and radiographic analysis. Discussion of ways in which these methods can be applied to the reconstruction of health, disease and life histories in the past is central to the discipline, so the journal would also encourage papers covering interpretive and theoretical issues, and those that place the study of disease at the centre of a bioarchaeological or biocultural approach. Papers dealing with historical evidence relating to disease in the past (rather than history of medicine) will also be published. The journal will also accept significant studies that applied previously developed techniques to new materials, setting the research in the context of current debates on past human and animal health.Membership Benefits: Members of the Paleopathology Association receive online access to the International Journal of Paleopathology for free as a member benefit.

Journal of Anthropological Archaeology

ISSN: 0278-4165
5 Year impact factor: 2.2
Impact factor: 2

An innovative, international publication, the Journal of Anthropological Archaeology is devoted to the development of theory and, in a broad sense, methodology for the systematic and rigorous understanding of the organization, operation, and evolution of human societies.The discipline served by the journal is characterized by its goals and approach, not by geographical or temporal bounds. The data utilized or treated range from the earliest archaeological evidence for the emergence of human culture to historically documented societies and the contemporary observations of the ethnographer, ethnoarchaeologist, sociologist, or geographer. These subjects appear in the journal as examples of cultural organization, operation, and evolution, not as specific historical phenomena. The concomitant range of socioeconomic complexity encompasses the simplest human culture, or "proto-culture," as well as the most complex states or empires.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
