AIA Publications and New Media publishes works that reflect the objectives of the AIA in advancing academic research, education, and broad public interest in archaeology. The department produces a variety of publications for both scholarly and general audiences. These include the distinguished American Journal of Archaeology, one of the world’s most widely distributed archaeological journals; the AIA’s Monographs and Colloquia and Conference Papers series, which present single-authored reports and collected papers primarily on Old World archaeology; various educational and reference books, such as the Archaeological Fieldwork Opportunities Bulletin (AFOB); and the Institute’s Newsletter. The department also maintains the Institute’s website and the electronic version of AFOB, AFOB Online.
Alongside these projects within the Publications department, the AIA publishes Archaeology, a richly illustrated magazine covering worldwide archaeology, written by professionals for the general public.
Publications Policy for the AJA and Archaeology
As a publication of the Archaeological Institute of America, AJA/Archaeology will not serve for the announcement or initial scholarly presentation of any object in a private or public collection acquired after December 30, 1973, unless its existence is documented before that date, or it was legally exported from the country of origin. An exception may be made if, in the view of the Editor, the aim of publication is to emphasize the loss of archaeological context. Reviews of exhibitions, catalogues, or publications that do not follow these guidelines should state that the exhibition or publication in question includes material without known archaeological findspot.
