About the Journal

The DAI e-Annual Reports (e-Jahresberichte) provide an annual overview of the DAI's themes, research and activities. In independent articles, the DAI's Clusters & Networks and worldwide locations report on selected projects, current research priorities and products, new research collaborations and ongoing developments in infrastructure, initiatives to promote young researchers and international exchange, as well as their formats for scholarly communication.

Detailed project reports can also be found in the DAI Research E-Papers.

History of the journal

From the very beginning, short annual reports of the German Archaeological Institute have been published in print in the Archäologischer Anzeiger. In 2006, for the first time, a comprehensive annual report in a new colour design was published as a separate supplement to the Anzeiger.
In 2014, the Institute restructured its reporting system. The printed report was replaced by the e-Research Report (e-Forschungsbericht) and the e-Annual Reports (e-Jahresbericht), two different digital publication formats.

Since 2022, the reports have been published in a new, magazine-style layout, clearly divided into short thematic chapters, with numerous large-format images and graphically designed dashboards that summarise the wealth of information in an aggregated and structured 'Facts & Figures' format.
