About the Journal

Tijdschrift voor Mediterrane Archeologie (Journal of Mediterranean Archaeology) is a Dutch-language scholarly journal on Mediterranean archaeological research. Since its beginnings in 1988, TMA has provided both beginning and established scholars connected to Dutch and Belgian universities (and Dutch and Belgian scholars abroad) the opportunity to publish their research. The journal is published twice a year; the even issues have a theme. Every volume consists of articles, reviews of specialist literature, and introductions to new research to keep the reader up-to-date on new or ongoing research in the field of Mediterranean archaeology.

If you wish to publish your research, write a book review or a research introduction, you can contact us via tijdschrift@mediterrane-archeologie.nl. We do accept contributions in the field of Mediterranean archaeology from scholars affiliated to a Dutch or Flemish institution and from Dutch and Flemish scholars working abroad. Contributions are in principle in Dutch, but we do make an exception for scholars for whom Dutch is not their native language.

Focus and Mission

Our aim is to make the work by all scholars affiliated with Dutch and Belgian universities and by Dutch and Belgian scholars abroad available for a large audience. Our audience includes (former) scholars and students, but specifically also a non-academic audience of people with an interest in Mediterranean archaeology.

We offer a platform to junior as well as senior scholars. We accept papers on Mediterranean archaeology in the wider sense of the word, including studies using different practical methodologies as well as more theoretical perspectives. We are also open to contributions from historical or epigraphical perspectives. In addition, we do not only focus on the core region of the mediterranean, but also include the areas that were (to become) part of the Roman empire and on the areas that are often referred to as the Near and Middle East.
