Research at the ancient interface of the natural and social worlds.

Archaeobiology is a peer-reviewed monograph series featuring research on biological remains from archaeological sites. Contributions are invited from all archaeological sub-disciplines that deal with the interpretation and analysis of human interaction with plants and animals throughout history and prehistory. While the series focuses on all aspects of zooarchaeology and paleoethnobotany, it also draws on human osteology, interaction with the landscape, ancient textiles, and archaeogenetics. The geographic scope of the series is global and cross-disciplinary topics are especially encouraged. Volumes may have one or multiple authors or may be edited collections of articles by different specialists working on related topics. The series also plans to offer a repository for digital materials that supplement and enrich the printed publications, such as images, spreadsheets and databases.

For information and guidelines on proposing a topic for the series please contact the series editor, Sarah Whitcher Kansa by email at: skansa@alexandriaarchive.org.
