Book reviews and the annual report of Swiss Archaeology are also published.
The «Find reports» section with the most important excavations and archaeological interventions in Switzerland was published in the yearbook until 2024. 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).
