This new periodical has as its purpose the presentation and analysis of materials relating to the archaeology, ethnology and anthropology of Eurasia, including North and Central Asia. The editorial board would also be interested in materials that extend the understanding of Eurasia to the Pacific Rim, and, where appropriate, to the Americas. The journal will publish papers and develop discussions on a wide range of research problems, e.g. Quaternary geology; Pleistocene and Holocene paleoecology; methodology and methods of archaeological, anthropological and ethnographical research, including field and laboratory study techniques; information technologies; migrations of early populations; paleosocilogical and paleoeconomic reconstruction; evolution of human physical type; modern methods of paleopopulation genetics; primitive art; astroarchaeology; and cultures of indigenous populations and ethnocultural processes. The journal will also publish results of field investigations conducted by archaeologists, anthropologists, and ethnologists, and announcements of symposia and professional meetings. It is the goal of this publication to provide authors with an international forum for the presentation of their materials and ideas.
