Internet Archaeology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Internet Archaeology http://intarch.ac.uk is an international scholarly journal and one of the first fully peer-reviewed electronic journals for archaeology. It published its first issue in 1996. The journal is hosted by the Department of Archaeology at the University of York, UK and published by the Council for British Archaeology.
Internet Archaeology's first managing Editor was Dr Alan Vince (1996-1999). It is currently edited and maintained by Ms Judith Winters. The journal is co-directed by Prof. Julian Richards (University of York) and Dr Michael Heyworth (Council for British Archaeology). The journal is also supported by an editorial Advisory Committee made up from representatives from the British Academy, the Council for British Archaeology, the Archaeology Data Service, the archaeological commercial sector, and a range of leading Universities from around the world.
The journal was established with funding from the JISC's Electronic Libraries (eLib) programme but now raises the majority of its income from a mixture of institutional and individual subscriptions and advertising.
Content makes use of the potential of internet publication to present archaeological research (excavation reports, methodology, analyses, applications of information technology) in ways that could not be achieved in print, such as full colour images, photographs, searchable data sets, visualisations/virtual reality models and interactive mapping. The journal's content is archived by the Archaeology Data Service (ADS).
