This is a series dedicated to the promotion of innovative and state-of-the-art scholarship on Islamic societies, polities, and communities, from an archaeological perspective. The volumes are problem-oriented, data-rich, theoretically sound, and methodologically innovative studies of archaeological sites and corpuses. The range of studies span the Islamic periods (7th century CE until today), and represent the Islamic world on its global scale.
The range of topics invited for the series is wide, including not only carefully argued and interpreted final excavation, survey, and ceramic reports, but also studies from other disciplines that are of direct relevance to Islamic archaeology, such as historical geography, art history, history, numismatics, ethnography, heritage management, and environmental studies, if they include archaeological material. Monographs may include revised doctoral dissertations. We particularly welcome comparative, transregional, and multi-disciplinary studies. Studies of unprovenanced artifacts, conference volumes (which are better suited to the journal), and descriptive field reports and exhibition or museum catalogues will not be considered.
Submissions to the series will follow the Style Guide of the Journal of Islamic Archaeologyand will be subjected to the same rigorous peer-review process.

Aimed at the international archaeological community, Monographs in Mediterranean Archaeology (MMA) seeks significant new contributions from the multicultural world of Mediterranean archaeology, publishing problem-oriented studies that present a solid, extensive corpus of archaeological data within a sound theoretical and/or methodological framework. MMA volumes deal with major archaeological issues related to the islands and lands or regions that border (or impact on) the Mediterranean Sea. No constraints are placed on the period of focus, from Palaeolithic through early Modern. We encourage contributions that treat the social, politico-economic and ideological aspects of local or regional production and development; issues related to social interaction and change or exchange; or more specific and contemporary issues such as gender, agency, identity, representation, phenomenology, landscape, etc. MMA volumes might include, in addition to original case studies: revised Ph.D. dissertations; well-structured and coherently interpreted final excavation or survey reports; tightly edited conference proceedings or other collections of high quality and general interest. Purely descriptive excavation reports or survey results will not be considered.

Worlds of the Ancient Near East and Mediterranean brings alive the texts, archaeology and history of the cultures of the regions around the Mediterranean Sea and eastward to ancient Iran and Iraq, from the Neolithic through the Roman periods (ca 10,000 BCE-393 CE). Studies of one or more aspects of a single culture or of a subject across cultures in the regions outlined will form the foundation of this series, in which interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged. Studies can be based on texts, on material remains, or a combination of the two, where appropriate. In the case of a project that focuses on either the memory or the reception history of a place, person, myth, practice, or idea that arose or existed within the prescribed time, chapters that trace ongoing relevance to the present are welcome. The volumes are meant to be accessible to a wide audience interested in how the inhabitants of these parts of the world lived or how they understood their own pasts, presents, and futures, as well as how current scholars are understanding and recreating their pasts or their future aspirations.
