Our magazine

Each of the four annual issues of arCHaeo Suisse is dedicated to a current focus topic. In addition, there are various sections in the magazine: Tips for excursions in «Erleben», news from the cantons in «arCHaeo aktuell», a very special find in «Fundstück» or current events in the «Schaufenster».

Our authors write in German, French or Italian and address their contributions to a broad and diverse audience interested in archaeology. Summaries and image captions are translated into the other two national Swiss languages.

The journal arCHaeo Suisse is published in four printed issues per year and can either be subscribed to or obtained in single issues. For members of Swiss Archaeology, all issues are included in the membership fee.
