     This is a superb example of this peer rated journal of the British and Irish Early and Middle Ages.

The Archaeological Journal is the prestigious annual peer-reviewed publication of the Royal Archaeological Institute. Published since 1844, the Journal welcomes research articles, fieldwork reports and major syntheses and analyses, on all periods of the human past, from earliest prehistory to recent times. The Journal focuses its attention on England, Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland and Eire; however, in exceptional cases, papers on work in other countries which have a clear relevance to our core aims will be considered.

The Journal has an established international reputation for the highest quality of academic publication and the flexibility to publish shorter research articles as well as larger reports and studies. Its distinctive multi-period scope facilitates the publication within the journal of material spanning numerous eras and addressing broader themes regarding variability and change in the landscapes, settlements and material cultures of these islands.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Honorary Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by multiple, independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double blind.
