Journal Descriptions
Oxford Journal of Archaeology is a well‑established, peer‑reviewed academic journal first published in 1982 and issued quarterly by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. (Wiley‑Blackwell) on behalf of the School of Archaeology, University of Oxford. It serves as a leading forum for significant archaeological research and scholarly debate, presenting high‑quality contributions that explore ancient societies across time and space. The journal’s scope encompasses broad chronological and geographical spans, especially European and Mediterranean prehistory and later periods, and engages with diverse topics such as settlement patterns, artefact analysis, burial practices, landscape use, and interpretive frameworks in archaeology. Contributions include original research articles, critical reviews, interpretive essays, and synthesis papers that address both empirical findings and theoretical perspectives. It encourages interdisciplinary approaches and methodological innovation, supporting advances in archaeological science alongside cultural and contextual studies. The editorial board comprises internationally recognised scholars who bring expertise in different subfields of archaeology. With its deep academic roots at the University of Oxford and global reach through Wiley’s publishing platform, the journal remains essential reading for researchers, educators, and advanced students in archaeology and related disciplines.
