Journals

Journal of Paleolimnology
JOPL is an international journal, covering all aspects of paleoenvironmental work dealing with lake and river sediments. Wetland, peatland, and estuary systems are also eligible for publication. Currently, JOPL publishes 2 volumes a year, of 4 issues each. There are no page charges, and lead authors receive 50 reprints free of charge.
Once again, Kluwer Academic Publishers is letting the editors of JOPL offer a much reduced personal subscription rate. In 1999, JOPL will publish volumes 21 and 22, each containing 4 issues. The special rate to obtain both volumes next year is $120 US.

Geoarchaeology
Geoarchaeology is published bimonthly and has a broad, interdisciplinary scope dealing with the understanding of archaeological sites, their natural context, and the material artifacts recovered from them. Manuscripts may include subjects from disciplines within the earth sciences (e.g., geography, pedology, climatology, geology, oceanography, geochemistry, geochronology, and geophysics) or those from biological sciences. The editors (Paul Goldberg and Ofer Bar-Yosef) are particularly interested in manuscripts that bear upon site-formation processes. They should be sent to: Paul Goldberg, Department of Archaeology, Boston University, 675 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, MA 02215; 617-353-3415; fax: 6800.

Assemblage
Assemblage, the electronic journal of archaeology of the postgraduate (graduate) students of the University of Sheffield, is now available -- free of charge -- on line: http://www.shef.ac.uk/~assem/4/ index.html
The fourth issue (October 1998) of Assemblage (ISSN 1365-3881), initiated in 1996, is produced entirely by the voluntary labour of students during the course of their research, and it makes no profit. It is currently published twice a year. Assemblage has a broad archaeological scope and is interested in publishing the work of academicians and other professionals from all parts of the globe.
Assemblage is seeking contributions for its fifth issue, due to be published in the spring of 1998. See notes for contributors: http://www.shef.ac.uk/ ~assem/4/4notcont.html; all regular post should be sent to Assemblage, University of Sheffield, Research School of Archaeology & Archaeological Science, West Court, 2 Mappin St., Sheffield S1 4DT, UK; 0114-222-5102; fax: -272 7347; assemblage@sheffield.ac.uk Announcements
