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]

The current editor-in-chief is John Robb, (University of Cambridge),[5] while from 1990-2005 the editor was Chris Scarre (McDonald Institute).[6][7]

Scope

The journal's focus is on the role and development of human intellectual abilities.[8] 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][9] The journal covers all eras and all areas,[10] 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?".[11] The journal often publishes on Maya archaeology.[12]
