Aims & Scope

Materiale și Cercetări Arheologice is an annual Romanian journal publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research in all fields of archaeology and related sciences. It addresses both professionals and the wider audience concerned with the interpretation of the archaeological record around the world and provides a forum for both established scholars and the younger generation. In addition to articles containing analyses of archaeological data from excavations, surveys, and laboratory research, the MCA publishes articles about archaeological heritage, history of archaeology, as well as technical and methodological studies. Papers are selected on the basis of originality, importance, interdisciplinary interest, timeliness, accessibility, and original conclusions. MCA also publishes special issues (Supplementum) on a specific theme.
