The Society for Archaeological Sciences Bulletin
The SAS Bulletin has been discontinued as of 2025. The rise of email listservs, blogs, teleconferencing, and social media over the past 30 years have reshaped the scientific communications landscape and diminished the need for a society Bulletin as a vehicle for communicating with the archaeologcial science community. Instead, a News page on this website will emphasize the workings of SAS as an organization in order to better inform the society membership and foster deeper involvement in developing society programming.
All Bulletin content published since 2019 is hosted on Blogger at the address of the former SAS Blog. Content from the previously standalone blog is also hosted at that address.

Journal of Archaeological Science
"The Journal of Archaeological Science is aimed at archaeologists and scientists with particular interests in advances in the application of scientific techniques and methodologies to all areas of archaeology. This established bimonthly journal publishes original research papers, major review articles, and short notes of wide archaeological significance.
The journal provides an international forum for archaeologists and scientists from widely different scientific backgrounds who share a common interest in using scientific methods to increase the information derived from archaeological research." --Description from Elsevier B.V.

OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL: Science and Technology of Archaeological Research
http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/ysta20
STAR seeks to provide a dynamic, international and high quality open access forum for rapid publication of archaeological research resulting from the application of scientific and computational methods. The journal embraces the full breadth of archaeological enquiry, no periods, regions or site types are excluded. For publication in the core journal, STAR stipulates only that the article demonstrates the significance of the scientific or computational methods used to the archaeological knowledge base. STAR aims to provide first editorial decision within three weeks and articles will be published online within eight weeks of acceptance. The full potential of the online format will be used to showcase current imaging methods, data and analysis.
Editor:
Robert H Tykot (University of South Florida, USA)
Why submit to STAR?
STAR is for authors who are concerned with maximizing the impact of their research and who need to publish in the literature rapidly. The editors will be delighted to hear expressions of interest in submission.
