Book reviews and the annual report of Swiss Archaeology are also published.

From 2025, the finds reports will appear exclusively in electronic form on the freely accessible and searchable AS Portal. The find reports 1987-2024 are also available there as database entries under CHRONIQUES online. The data for the years 1908-1986 will follow. to AS Portal

Individual issues can also be ordered; members of Swiss Archaeology receive a discount of around 25 percent (see prices in brackets).

The Annual Review will be available in Diamond Open Access on Zenodo from the year 2023 onwards. After publication, authors receive a PDF of their contribution for free use without delay. Past issues are archived on the e-periodica platform.
