New Open Access Journal: CARMEL: Studies in Archaeological Sciences and Conservation

 

 

CARMEL is a new open-access, PCI-friendly, peer-reviewed journal that aims to publish original research in all fields of archaeological sciences and conservation by scholars working around the globe. Articles should deal with the application of exact and life sciences methods to the study of the past, including the conservation of past remains.

CARMEL is an outgrowth of the new and unique Haifa School of Archaeology and Maritime Cultures and an initiative supported by the University of Haifa and the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology (also located in Haifa). The School was established in 2021 with an aim to respond to the rapid developments in archaeology—especially to the revolution of the archaeological sciences, the challenges of stewardship and management of cultural heritage, and the need to redefine the place of archaeology as a distinct discipline in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences. The power of the School stems from the synergy between its four departments: Archaeology, Maritime Civilizations, Archaeological Sciences, and Cultural Heritage. It hosts the largest number of tenured archaeologists, archaeological scientists, and archaeological conservation and heritage experts among Israeli academic institutions, and is equipped with cutting-edge laboratories. The School fosters the training of students in field archaeology and interdisciplinary analytical research, preparing them to be on the front line of archaeology in the decades to come.

Covered topics include, but are not limited to, zooarchaeology, geoarchaeology, microarchaeology, archaeometallurgy, paleoecology, botanical archaeology, archaeological organic residues, radiocarbon and other dating methods, ancient DNA, stable isotope analysis, computational archaeology, and material conservation and preservation.
