The Archaeology of Northern Europe provides a dedicated forum for the publication of archaeological research from throughout Northern Europe, a region here defined as stretching from Ireland and the British Isles, via France, and the countries of the North Sea, up to Scandinavia and into the Baltic States, over a time period that spans from the Palaeolithic up to the Early Modern. Through this broad geographical and chronological scope, it encourages research that looks beyond discrete divisions in chronology, culture, or region, and that seeks to examine the political, cultural, social, and economic ties that bound together — and divided – the lands and peoples of the North Atlantic, North Sea, and Baltic. The series encompasses a number of different disciplines and area studies, incorporating both monographs and edited collections covering a range of fields, including archaeology, landscape and urban studies, environmental archaeology, material culture, iconography, and discussions of theoretical frameworks and their application.
