Appel à contributions pour la revue "World Archaeology"

La revue "World Archaeology" (ed. Routledge) lance un appel à contributions pour ses prochaines publications :

Vol 43 No. 3 The Archaeology of Travel and Communication, ed Andrew Reynolds. Submission by January 2011 for publication in September 2011. The extent of travel and communication in ancient societies is much debated, usually by studying the movement of material culture and its symbolic aspects, but rarely directly approached with regard to identifying precisely where and how people moved and communicated in the landscape. This volume seeks papers on all aspects of the theme, including reconstruction of overland routes and visual means of communication, riverine transport, pilgrimage and military activity. Local, regional and larger-scale explorations are welcome. Methodological papers approaching the recording and investigation of ancient routes and communication networks are also encouraged.
 

Vol 43 No. 4 Debates in World Archaeology, ed Joao Zilhao. Submission by May 2011 for publication in December 2011.  Papers initiating or contributing to debates or discussions, or papers offering comment, either in relation to papers previously published in World Archaeology or to archaeological issues more generally.
 

Vol. 44 No. 1 Faunal Extinctions and Introductions, ed. Alan K. Outram and Metin I. Eren. Submissions by May 2011 for publication in March 2012. There has been significant debate over the role of humans in ancient faunal extinctions, particularly at the end of the Pleistocene. This volume encourages submissions relating to topics such as Ice Age megafaunal extinctions on different continents, the expulsion and (re-)introduction of species to regions in the Holocene, and island extinctions. Interdisciplinary papers involving archaeology, palaeontology, anthropology, ecology and environmental science are particularly welcome. The volume will concentrate upon extinctions and (re-)introductions of specific species, rather than on the general spread of domesticated animals and farming.

Vol. 44 No. 2 Archaeology and Sport, ed. John Schofield. Submissions by September 2011 for publication in June 2012.
Vol. 45 No.1 Archaeology of Religious Change, ed. Julia Shaw. Submission by May 2012 for publication in March 2013. This volume will explore the contribution archaeology can make to the study of religious change. Whilst the study of how certain religious traditions move into new areas and relate to pre-existing religious, cultural, political and economic structures, has tended to be dominated by the fields of Sociology, Anthropology and Comparative Religion, in recent years Archaeology has made significant contributions to the field. Archaeological papers dealing with the issue of religious change, propagation, interaction, and reception in relation to any of the major World Religions are invited here. Of particular interest are those studies that look beyond traditional 'ritual' models to the wider economic, political, or 'practical' ramifications of religious change.
