“The entire publishing process has been so smooth and efficient. Everyone at the BAR team I have been in correspondence with have been so helpful and kind. It has been a wonderful experience and I am delighted with the finished product”

Welcome

I am delighted that you are considering publishing your research with us.

You will be working with experienced editors, passionate about both publishing and archaeology. Whether you are a first-time
author or have published many books before we will guide you through the process in a personalised way according to your needs and priorities.

We have a set of well-honed processes which ensure your research can be published extremely quickly and efficiently, but as a small team we also benefit from the flexibility to do things differently when a project requires a more bespoke approach. Our digital platform, for example, offers huge potential for presenting research in innovative ways, and we enjoy the challenges of delivering new models and formats to fit the evolving needs of academia.

You will find some initial information about the publishing with BAR here, our process and policies here and manuscript submission guidelines here. You can submit your proposal below or via this form.

You are also most welcome to contact me directly for a conversation to discuss your proposal and answer your questions.

I look forward to working with you.

Editorial Director
