Journal of the Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society
Strata functions as the academic arm of the Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society, established to advance and publish archaeological research undertaken in the modern State of Israel and in related areas of scholarly connection. Strata is an annual peer-reviewed academic journal that presents the latest research on the archaeology of the southern Levant and adjacent regions to a broad international audience.
The journal publishes archaeological research spanning from prehistoric times to the modern era. In recognition of the complex and shifting historical and territorial designations attributed to the region over millennia, the terminology employed in individual articles reflects the specific historical and archaeological contexts of each study. The journal welcomes articles addressing all aspects of archaeology that contribute to a deeper understanding of the region. Given its pivotal role in numerous culture-historical narratives,
the archaeology of this area holds exceptional global significance for understanding ancient societies, religions, and cultures.
From 1982 to 2008, Strata was published as the Bulletin of the Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society. In 2009, the journal adopted its current title. Articles are widely available via the Academic Search Premier (EBSCO) database, though some continue to appear under the former Bulletin title.
Strata values international academic collaboration and the cultivation of research communities united by a shared archaeological heritage. The journal is committed to the open exchange of knowledge and advocates for open-access dissemination as a means of fostering dialogue and accessibility across disciplines and regions.
All issues of Strata published more than two years ago are open access and available on this website.
