Overview
Archaeologies: Journal of the World Archaeological Congress (worldarch.org/) offers a venue for debates and topical issues, through peer-reviewed articles, reports and reviews. It emphasizes contributions that seek to recenter (or decenter) archaeology, and that challenge local and global power geometries.
Areas of interest include ethics and archaeology; public archaeology; legacies of colonialism and nationalism within the discipline; the interplay of local and global archaeological traditions; theory and archaeology; the discipline’s involvement in projects of memory, identity, and restitution; and rights and ethics relating to cultural property, issues of acquisition, custodianship, conservation, and display.
Recognizing the importance of non-Western epistemologies and intellectual traditions, the journal publishes some material in nonstandard format, including dialogues; annotated photographic essays; transcripts of public events; and statements from elders, custodians, descent groups and individuals.
The Editors of Archaeologies are very pleased and proud to be associated with SAPIENS (www.sapiens.org) in a new collaboration. We urge our authors to consider taking advantage of this opportunity to bring their important work to a wider public and thereby to spread an understanding of what archaeologists do and the vital role of our sponsoring organisation the World Archaeological Congress in promoting peace and justice around the globe. More information can be found in the paper submission process.
