Archaeopress Imprints


Archaeopress Archaeology

Our main peer-reviewed imprint currently publishes 70-100 new titles a year including monographs, conference proceedings, catalogues of archaeological material, excavation reports, archaeological biographies/historiography, and more. Archaeopress Archaeology covers the full spectrum of archaeological topics, all geographic locations and all time periods, with dedicated series for specialist fields of study including: Archaeopress Egyptology, Archaeopress Roman Archaeology, Archaeopress Ancient Near Eastern Archaeology, Archaeopress Pre-Columbian Archaeology, Roman & Late Antique Mediterranean Pottery, Archaeological Lives, and more. Publications are typically published simultaneously in print and PDF eBook editions. The design and format of the printed edition is dictated by the content, meaning the range includes books of various sizes and binding-types, all geared towards presenting the research in a format most suited to the material. Open Access options are available.

Access Archaeology

Access Archaeology has evolved as a separate imprint alongside Archaeopress Archaeology to support many types of archaeological publication including PhD dissertations, smaller conferences and symposia, research projects, and commercial archaeology from parts of the world where funding is limited. It also supports publications that fall between conventional models: too long perhaps for a journal article, but too short for a traditional monograph. The range is home to a number of ongoing specialist series, including: Cambridge Monographs in African Archaeology, Paris Monographs in American Archaeology, and the South American Archaeology Series.

All Access Archaeology titles are available via the Archaeopress website as free-to-download PDF eBooks for personal use, or at a very low price for institutional use, as well as in traditional print format. The design and layout of Access Archaeology titles follows a fixed template, with a uniform cover design.
