The Historical Archaeologies Series (HAS) is a new monograph series in the Archaeopress Access Archaeology imprint for studies that explore past societies, considering long-term perspectives, with a particular focus on the archaeological study of literate societies.

The collection is interested in the historical dimension of archaeological research, exploiting perspectives such as microhistory, multiscale analysis, comparative studies, multiple temporalities, deep landscapes, etc. The multiproxy analysis of historical societies is also a key concern, considering not only the extensive use of archaeological sciences, but also more ‘traditional’ sources in a critical and inclusive way. The archaeological study of written records and the documentary study of the archaeological record, overcoming the scholarly disjuncture between disciplines, are among the perspectives that will be enhanced, together with conceptually and theoretically informed approaches. There is also a keen interest in topics, geographies, and initiatives emerging in the periphery of mainstream archaeological research. The series intends also to open avenues to younger scholars and groundbreaking research, covering worldwide geographies.

The Historical Archaeologies Series will comprise:
1. Thematic studies that offer a comprehensive review of the most important current problems in archaeology in a long long-term perspective, in particular the archaeological study of medieval, modern, and contemporary periods.
2. Original research monographs between 60,000 and 200,000 words. Monographs should follow the standard format of an archaeological paper. Papers will be submitted to a double-blind peer review process.
3. Collective books centered on relevant topics related to historical archaeologies.
4. Innovative and experimental proposals aimed at overcoming the limits of current historical archaeologies.
