Aims & Scope
A journal of the British Institute in Eastern Africa, Azania: Archaeological Research in Africa has, since its foundation in 1966, built up a strong track record in publishing papers on the archaeology and precolonial history of Eastern Africa. Now expanded in scope, since 2009 it has covered all aspects of African archaeology, regardless of temporal or spatial boundaries, and welcomes contributions in both English and French.
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.
