Annual Review of Swiss Archaeology
The Annual Review of Swiss Archaeology publishes scientific articles on fundamental research topics as well as short communications on current research results from all epochs and disciplines of archaeology in Switzerland.
In the «Finds Reports» section, the most important excavations and archaeological interventions in Switzerland are presented in summary form each year. Book reviews and the annual report of Swiss Archaeology are also published.
The Annual Review’s quality is assured by a peer-review process as well as thorough text and image editing. The printed version of the review is included in the membership fee for SA members. Individual issues can also be ordered; members of Swiss Archaeology receive a discount of around 25 percent (see prices in brackets).
