Journals

Assemblage is the peer-reviewed on-line journal of archaeology produced by the graduate students of archaeology and archaeological science at the University of Sheffield, England (ISSN 1365-3881). The project was initiated by the graduate students in 1996, and it is now in its third issue, currently being published twice a year.

Assemblage has covered such diverse topics as post-processual field methodologies, women and personal possession in sixteenth-century Ireland, the purpose and meaning of British Iron-Age ditches, the analysis of freshwater bivalve remains, and computerized facial reconstruction. Past issues are found on the web at http://www.shef.ac. uk/~assem

Assemblage would like to devote the Forum section of issue 4 to 'political archaeology'. In particular, we are looking for contributions on the following subjects, as they relate to archaeology:

  •  class and economic organization
  •  race/ethnicity
  •  gender and sexuality
  •  human ecology/green politics
  •  indigenous peoples/cultural identity
  •  nationalism
  •  political power/political organization

Forum articles should be 2-3,000 words long and are meant to be proposals, polemics, and essays with an overt political character, substantiated by archaeological evidence and theory. The deadline for submissions is June 26, 1998.
