JOURNALS

Assemblage
The long-awaited second issue of Assemblage, the Sheffield graduate journal of archaeology, is now online at www.shef.ac.uk/uni/union/susoc/assem/ (or www.shef.ac.uk/~assem/ ). Check out assemblage-info, www.shef.ac.uk/ ~assem/2info, dedicated to providing a constantly updated information service for the archaeological community at large and postgraduate students in particular, currently listing details of 126 funding sources, 59 conferences and links to 149 online archaeological bibliographies! The info pages also offer a short selection of genuinely useful links and cool archaeological web sites and coming soon will be info on academic jobs, a news clippings service and schedules for archaeological TV programs.

 
Quaternary
Science Reviews
Quaternary Science Reviews caters for all aspects of Quaternary science, including: geomorphology, geography, archaeology, soil science, paleobotany, palaeontology, palaeoclimatology and the full range of applicable dating methods. The dividing line between what constitutes the review paper and one which contains new original data is not easy to establish, so QSR also publishes papers with new data especially if these perform a review function, or can be so adapted for a wider perspective, for example, as in methods of dating. All the Quaternary sciences are changing rapidly and subject to re evaluation as the pace of discovery quickens; thus the eclectic and comprehensive role of Quaternary Science Reviews keeps readers abreast of the wider issues relating to new developments in the field. Quaternary Science Reviews includes occasional issues devoted to Quaternary Geochronology, with the aim of providing Quaternary geologists, geomorphologists and archaeologists with a reference source discussing progress and problems of dating techniques applicable to the Quaternary. These issues will focus on review papers, systematic studies, intercomparisons and progress reports and occasional conference proceedings.

Palaeoclimates‹
Data and Modelling
Palaeoclimates provides a focus for all researchers working in the interdisciplinary subject area of palaeoclimatology. The field of palaeoclimatology has expanded rapidly over the past decade, as attention has become increasingly focused on environmental problems. Fundamental questions on such topics as the natural variability of our environment, which may have strong implications for the future of our planet, can only be answered by the study of past climates.
Palaeoclimates publishes a balance of high-quality papers on both the geological and climatological aspects of palaeoclimate research. It is unique in bringing together palaeoclimate modelling and data studies in a single publication and by making geologists and modelers aware of the details, strengths and limitations of the others' approaches will enhance and further joint research.
Palaeoclimates will include original research papers on all aspects of the climate and environment of the Quaternary and earlier times. Discussion and review papers will also be included, concerning new aspects of research and special topics of current and widespread interest to the palaeoclimate community.
