Aims & Scope
A journal of the British Institute in Eastern Africa, Azania has, over the past 41 years, built up a strong track record in publishing papers on the archaeology and precolonial history of Eastern Africa. Today, the journal is expanding in scope and going forward in a new direction. The relaunched Azania: Archaeological Research in Africa will focus more exclusively on archaeology, while greatly expanding its chronological and geographical remit.
Azania: Archaeological Research in Africa seeks to become the premier outlet for publishing archaeological work on Africa's past. It publishes peer-reviewed papers and briefer research reports, as well as book and conference reviews, on all aspects of archaeological research in Africa, without restriction as to period or area.
Papers may:
Papers may:
- report on original fieldwork
- develop and apply new methodologies
- provide syntheses of key topics or debates
- address issues of current theoretical concern
Papers that place African archaeology within a broader comparative theoretical or methodological context, emphasise the connections between Africa and other parts of the world or explore connections of history, theory and methodology with other disciplines (e.g. history, linguistics, genetics, etc.) are also welcome.
Papers may be submitted and published in either English or French and extended abstracts and keywords will be provided in both languages.
