international, peer-reviewed archaeological journal published biannually by the Department of Archaeology and History of Art

Dear friends and colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we announce the inauguration of the Athens University Review of Archaeology (AURA), an international, peer-reviewed archaeological journal published biannually by the Department of Archaeology and History of Art of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

Our aim is the publication of original papers in Greek or English about archaeology, art and material culture of the broader Hellenic world, from early Prehistory to Modern times, as well as about Environmental Archaeology, Archaeometry, Museology, and Computer Applications in Art and Archaeology. The range of studies varies, including synthetic works, reports on excavations and field surveys, studies of archaeological material or works of art, various case studies, as well as preliminary publications of on-going research projects dealing with the scientific areas described above.

Also, part of the AURA journal is the AURA Supplement series, comprising monographs in Greek or English. The series share the same areas of interest with the journal. The range of publications varies, including monographs, edited volumes, conference proceedings, and publications of excavations, archaeological material or works of art. The studies submitted for publication are peer-reviewed by two anonymous referees, even in the case of doctoral dissertations, which have been successfully defended in universities, in Greece or abroad.

Both AURA journal and AURA Supplements are open-access publications. They are published electronically as a PDF file, with printing restrictions. All papers receive a DOI number and are available on the internet to all users immediately upon publication and free of charge, according to Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.

AURA issues and AURA Supplements can also be distributed on a print-on-demand basis and posted or collected from the bookstore of Kardamitsa Publications, 8 Ippokratous str, Athens. The costs of printing and posting are covered by the customer.
