Archaeological Research in Asia (ARA)

Archaeological Research in Asia is an international, peer‑reviewed scholarly journal published by Elsevier that serves as an important forum for research on archaeological issues across Asia and the adjoining regions. The journal’s scope includes placing archaeological events and patterns in time and space, analyzing past human lifeways, and developing explanations for cultural processes and change. It highlights theoretical and methodological advancements, presents new datasets, and offers perspective on the human past from early hominin presence through later complex societies. Typical contributions include full‑length research articles that synthesize data and novel analyses, case reports that offer essential data from key archaeological sites, and short communications that present targeted findings such as radiocarbon dates or emerging evidence. The journal plays a central role in disseminating high‑quality archaeological scholarship that influences understanding of prehistoric adaptations, social organization, material culture, environmental interactions, and regional exchange networks across the vast expanse between the Bosporus and the Pacific. Indexed in major international databases including Scopus and Clarivate’s Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Archaeological Research in Asia continues to expand archaeological theory, practice, and documentation through rigorous peer review and global scholarly engagement.
