Associate Editor Cornelius Holtorf Linnaeus University The Editors and Equinox Publishing are pleased to announce the launch of a new journal devoted to the study of contemporary archaeology and invite submissions for publication, commencing with the first issue in spring 2014. Journal of Contemporary Archaeology is the first international, peerreviewed journal to explore archaeology’s specific contribution to understanding the present and recent past. It is concerned both with archaeologies of the contemporary world, defined temporally as belonging to the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, as well as with reflections on the socio-political implications of doing archaeology in the contemporary world. The journal encourages articles from a range of adjacent disciplines which consider recent and contemporary material-cultural entanglements, including anthropology, cultural studies, design studies, history, human geography, media studies, museum studies, psychology, science and technology studies, and sociology. Acknowledging the key place that photography and digital media have come to occupy within this emerging subfield, Journal of Contemporary Archaeology includes a regular Photo Essay feature and provides space for the publication of interactive, web-only content on its website. Call for Papers Journal of Contemporary Archaeology will publish articles in a number of different formats, ranging from in-depth Discussion Articles, to be accompanied by comments from relevant researchers and an author’s reply; regular Research Articles which are generally shorter and more case-driven; Interviews comprising occasional, edited discussions between researchers and individuals whose academic or creative work makes a contribution to understanding the archaeology and materiality of the contemporary world; Forums, a series of short responses to previously circulated questions; and, as noted above, Photo Essays. Potential contributors should consult the Journal’s Guidelines which can be found online at www.equinoxpub.com/JCA Subscriptions Journal of Contemporary Archaeology will be published in print and online, with two issues per volume year. Articles will be published online in advance of the print version of each issue. The first articles are expected to appear online from July 2013. Special introductory prices are available on the journal’s website at www.equinoxpub.com/JCA
