Academic Scope and Subjects covered by the Journal
Since its appearance, the journal has been positioning itself as supranational and interstate one.
Its goal is to establish links and unite academic activities in archaeology and cultural anthropology in the whole world and, specifically, in the post-Soviet space.
Stratum plus facilitates professional communication between a wide circle of specialists in archaeology, anthropology and other auxiliary historical disciplines, as well as enables familiarization of readers worldwide with recent academic research and developments.
Subjects are not limited either regionally or chronologically. They include results of analytical research, interpretations and high-quality publication of new sources. Contributions on history, ethnology, numismatics, epigraphics and other auxiliary historical disciplines are accepted along with papers on archaeology and cultural anthropology.
"The mere logics behind the things tells us that, when everything disappears, there is nothing but one real thing left — archaeology and its corresponding cultural layer, i.e. stratum. Without any exaggeration one may say that anything that is not and was not in the course of history, will actively emerge, rise and blossom in archaeology.... the ultimate goal of this journal is not only to unite the best creative forces in our discipline, not only to mobilize that cultural stratum, which continues to create following the natural cycle of doubts, hesitations, expeditions, findings and successes, and ignoring the vanity of changing authorities, banners and leaders, but also to initiate the progress of archaeology into the future"
Nothing But Archaeology! Or why Stratum plus?
Mark E. Tkachuk Editor-in-Chief
