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