World Archaeology

World Archaeology was established specifically to deal with archaeology on a world-wide multiperiod basis. Since it was founded in 1969 it remains a leader in its field. The five issues of the volume are each dedicated to a particular theme of current interest. Typically the fifth issue, Debates in World Archaeology , is a forum for debate, discussion and comment. All papers adopt a broad comparative approach, looking at important issues on a global scale. The members of the editorial board and the advisory board represent a wide range of interests and expertise and this ensures that the papers published in World Archaeology cover a wide variety of subject areas. Recent issues illustrate the variety of material published in World Archaeology and have included volumes dedicated to new developments in archaeological science, the application of social theory to archaeology, the archaeology of art and major syntheses of such important topics as trade and exchange. Future issues will range just as widely.
