Description
The German Archaeological Institute has been publishing its yearbook since 1885, with every volume containing ten papers covering basically Classical – i.e. Greek and Roman – Archaeology, even supposing once in a while Early Byzantine to Early Islamic topics are alsotreated, as are those from Early Anatolian and Western European History.
In latest years, the contents of the Yearbook have been continuously specialised and expanded; subjects include art history and the history of style, iconography, hermeneutics, typology, compilations of material and the reconstruction of sculpture and architecture. Presented in an expertly crafted, expensively bound edition, every volume incorporates papers on quite a lot of subjects.
The Yearbook does not contain any excavation reports, news items or book reviews; it’s dedicated exclusively to research discussions on known larger complexes of finds. Thus with its critical apparatus and catalogue references, where appropriate, it guarantees a state-of-the-art account.
