Archaeology of Food and Foodways is an international refereed journal showcasing original scholarly work on the relationship between human sustenance and society. This publication foregrounds the dynamics between food and culture, food and environment, and shifts in foodways over time, covering time periods from prehistory through the 19th century. We encourage the submission of original work by archaeologists, historians, Classicists, and other scholars who address methodologies, theories, historical trajectories, cross-cultural comparisons, and controversies surrounding material culture and past foodways. We also encourage the submission of work by scholars and other specialists who have applied archaeological findings to such domains as public policy, culinary arts, and dietary regimes.

The journal accepts submissions of original Research Articles, Thematic Essays, Applied Articles, Photo Essays, and Thematic Issues. All submissions must have an archaeological focus, but may elucidate experimental archaeological or ethnoarchaeological work if applied to a specific archaeological problem, or incorporate archaeological research into contemporary applications. Submissions may have any geographical focus. AFF does not publish short notes, descriptive excavation reports, limited artifact studies, or book reviews.
