Journals

  • Archäologischer Anzeiger

    The Archäologischer Anzeiger (AA) publishes articles regarding current research and reports on excavation projects. So-called micropublications are explicitly welcome as well – short notes that briefly report on outstanding new finds or present discussion statements on broader methodological questions or theoretical concepts. The journal focuses on topics from the Mediterranean basin covering periods from prehistory to late antiquity; additionally, projects outside the ancient world are also considered. In accordance with the journal’s scope and the research aims of the department, contributions to the Archäologischer Anzeiger that discuss the large-scale connections and networks of the ancient world to the northern European, Eurasian and African regions are also welcome.

    The quality of the Archäologischer Anzeiger is guaranteed by a double-blind peer-review process as well as thorough text and image editing. From half-volume 2019/1 onwards, the contributions are freely accessible over a responsive viewer and a PDF in addition to the printed version.

  • Research E-Papers

    In 2014, the DAI restructured its report processes. Instead of a printed annual report, we now publish two separate, regular formats: our Research E-Papers and our Annual E-Reports. To ensure that our research reports are up to date, we publish Research E-Papers throughout the year in individual fascicles that are issued promptly with the respective research campaigns. These fascicles are available through open access as DAI wishes to share its research results with a wide audience. Our Research E-Papers are fully citable with ISSN and URN.
