The Journal of World Prehistory
is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original
articles that synthesize the prehistory of an area or of a time-horizon
within a larger region, or describe technical advances of wide and
general application. These overview papers provide in-depth, thoughtful
development of data and concepts in a fashion accessible to all
archaeologists.
The journal focuses on prehistory, including the beginnings
and early development of complex societies. Coverage extends to locales
not normally available to American or West European archaeologists,
including the Far East, parts of the Third World, and Eastern Europe.
Benefiting both scholars and teachers, Journal of World Prehistory is a source of timely and authoritative research syntheses from all fields of archaeology.

AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University
AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.
The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.
The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.
AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.
