CALL FOR PAPERS

ASIAN PERSPECTIVES (The Journal of Archaeology for Asia and the Pacific) is currently soliciting manuscripts on Southeast and East Asian archaeology (prehistoric, historic, bioarchaeological, ethnoarchaeological) for review. Asian Perspectives is the leading archaeological journal devoted to the archaeology of Asia and the Pacific region. In addition to archaeology, it features articles and book reviews on ethnoarchaeology, palaeoanthropology, and physical anthropology. International specialists contribute regional reports summarizing current research and fieldwork, and present topical reports of significant sites.

We are especially interested in receiving manuscripts from our Southeast Asian and Asian colleagues on recent work in their regions. Our next two issues of Asian Perspectives feature articles on the archaeology and bioarchaeology of Thailand, Cambodia, and Indonesia, along with articles on South and East Asia and the Pacific. We are also pleased to announce the upcoming publication of an entire issue on the Archaeology of Burma/Myanmar, which should appear mid-2002.

Might you have a manuscript to submit to Asian Perspectives? We are beginning to select papers for the 2003 issues, and would encourage prospective contributors to submit AP-formatted manuscripts to us by October 1, 2001 for review. We do, however, accept manuscripts for review throughout the year and encourage potential contributors to send us manuscripts at any time.

Submissions are currently being sought for WORLD ARCHAEOLOGY 34(2) on the theme: Community Archaeology. This volume will consider the influence of community archaeology on the way our discipline is defined and constituted. The aim is to highlight some of the ways in which projects initiated by local communities, or conducted as collaborations between communities and institutions, are changing the way we do archaeology and what we think of as archaeology. Submissions are due by 31 October 2001 for publication in October 2002. For further information, or to submit a paper, contact the editor of this issue: Dr Yvonne Marshall, Department of Archaeology, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ UK, or by e-mail: [email protected]

Submissions are currently being sought for WORLD ARCHAEOLOGY 34(3) on the theme: Luxury Foods. Many studies of diet and agriculture in past societies have focused on the reconstruction of subsistence economies and the identification of surplus production of staple foods. This issue aims to focus attention on the role of luxury and exotic foods. Luxury foods are here defined as foods that are desirable but not essential in terms of human nutrition. They frequently, though not necessarily, include exotic foods, that is, foods that are desirable because of their foreign origin. What foods were they? How can we identify such foods in the archaeological record? What was the social uptake of exotic foods after their introduction to a new region/continent? A key issue here is by whom were luxury foods desired and why? Do such foods always have elite origins and do they all gradually become more commonplace? Contributions exploring these issues in the prehistoric and/or historical periods are invited. Submissions are due by January 2002 for publication in February 2003. For further information, or to submit a paper, contact the editor of this issue: Dr Marijke van der Veen, Institute of Archaeology, 31-34 Gordon Square, University College London, London WC1H 0PY, or by e-mail: [email protected]

Submissions are currently being sought for WORLD ARCHAEOLOGY 35(1) on the theme: The Social Commemoration of Warfare. The discipline of Archaeology has developed a fascination with the study of warfare and warriors, most commonly focusing on the particular place of battle or physical evidence for violent confrontation. This volume proposes to take a different approach by emphasising social responses to warfare in different places and times. Papers are invited which explore the personal or social experience of warfare, including, for example: the commemoration of wars and war-dead, the monumentalisation of war, ceremonial rites connected with battle, the material culture of the warrior, and the management and public presentation ofarchaeological sites connected with warfare. Submissions are due by July 2002 for publication in June 2003. For further information, or to submit a paper, contact the editor of this issue: Prof. Roberta Gilchrist, Dept. of Archaeology, University of Reading, Whiteknights, PO Box 218, Reading RG6 2AA, or by e-mail: [email protected]
