The Cambridge Archaeological Journal is a peer-reviewed academic journal for cognitive and symbolic archaeology published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research.[1] It was established in 1991 and is published triannually.[2] It includes major articles, shorter notes, book reviews,[3] and review articles, especially those related to cognitive archaeology.[4] [5]
From 1990 to 2005 the editor was Chris Scarre (McDonald Institute).[6][7] The current editor-in-chief is John Robb (University of Cambridge).[8]
Scope
[edit | edit source]The journal's focus is on the role and development of human intellectual abilities.[9] It covers theoretical and descriptive archaeological research, ranging from art and iconography, burial and ritual, representations and symbolism, to the evolution of human cognition.[2][10] The journal covers all eras and all areas,[11] from the Lower Palaeolithic to Colonialism, and from the Pacific to Central Asia.[2] Of note, figurine studies have been widely discussed in several surveys, but in particular in its 1996 feature "Can We Interpret Figurines?".[12] The journal often publishes on Maya archaeology.[13]
