MEDITERRANEAN ARCHAEOLOGY
The Official Journal of the Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens

The Australian and New Zealand Journal for the Archaeology of the Mediterranean World

 

Since its foundation in 1988, Mediterranean Archaeology (ISSN 1030-8482) has succeeded not only in providing a much-needed medium through which archaeologists in Australasia report on their research and field work in the Mediterranean region, but also in establishing itself as a journal of international import.

Its comparatively large format (210 x 297mm) and its high production quality both reflect the priority given to the presentation of archaeological material, be it from excavations or from collections and museums. In particular, Mediterranean Archaeology publishes reports on the excavations carried out at Torone in Northern Greece, I Fani in Southern Italy, Pella in Jordan, Jebel Khalid in Northern Syria, Tell al-Hawa in Iraq, and in the Dakhleh Oasis in Egypt, and serves as a vehicle for the publication of relevant material held in the Abbey Museum in Caboolture, Queensland; the Antquities Museum at the University of Queensland in Brisbane; the Classics Department Museum at the Australian National University in Canberra; the John Elliott Classics Museum at the University of Tasmania, Hobart; the Logie Collection at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch; the Melbourne University Collection; the Nicholson Museum at the University of Sydney; and the Victoria University Collection in Wellington.

Mediterranean Archaeology is open to contributors from any country and publishes papers in English, French, German, and Italian. For details please see the guidelines for authors and forward submissions to Meditarch.

Festschrift in Honour of J. Richard Green

Edited by
C.D. Barker, L.A. Beaumont, & E.A. Bollen

Professor Richard Green retired from the Arthur and Renee George Chair of Classical Archaeology at the University of Sydney at the end of 2003.  In appreciation of his contribution to the development of Classical Archaeology in Australia and of his work in the field of Greek and South Italian vase-painting, ancient theatre and performance, and as excavator of Paphos on Cyprus, a number of colleagues and former pupils have decided to mark the occasion with a Festschrift in his honour.

 

Volume 18, 2005
In 2005 Mediterranean Archaeology became the Official Journal of the Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens.

Pompeii Revisited-The Life and Death of a Roman Town

 

A special volume, Pompeii Revisited-The Life and Death of a Roman Town, was published on the occasion of the Pompeii Rediscovered exhibition, on show at the Australian Museum in Sydney from September 1994 till January 1995. Written by Jean-Paul Descoeudres (mainly with Yr 11 and 12 High School and undergraduate University students in mind) and edited by Derek Harrison, the lavishly illustrated book also includes contributions by a dozen experts on life in ancient Pompeii.

Pompeii Revisited is now out of print.
