《地質考古學》是一種跨學科期刊，每年出版6期(1月、3月、5月、7月、9月、11月)。提出了方法論的原始研究的結果和理論之間的接口考古,地質,包括在其范圍:跨學科工作重點理解考古遺址,其環(huán)境背景下,特別是網(wǎng)站形成過程和沉積記錄的分析如何提高我們理解人類活動在第四紀環(huán)境中。手稿應更廣泛地審查考古學與第四紀科學和地球科學中各學科之間的相互關系，包括:地質學、地理學、地貌學、土壤學、氣候學、海洋學、地球化學、地球年代學和地球物理學。我們也歡迎那些通過分析動物群和植物遺跡以及古生態(tài)重建來處理過去人類活動的生物記錄的論文，它們闡明了過去人類與環(huán)境的相互作用。該雜志還歡迎有關人類化石遺跡的檢查和地質背景的手稿，以及使用分析技術促進對組成和起源或材料文化的理解的論文，例如，陶瓷、金屬、巖屑、建筑石材、石膏和水泥。這種成分和物源研究應以其地質背景為基礎，例如，通過對可能的源材料進行系統(tǒng)分析。

Geoarchaeology is an interdisciplinary journal published six times per year (in January, March, May, July, September and November). It presents the results of original research at the methodological and theoretical interface between archaeology and the geosciences and includes within its scope: interdisciplinary work focusing on understanding archaeological sites, their environmental context, and particularly site formation processes and how the analysis of sedimentary records can enhance our understanding of human activity in Quaternary environments. Manuscripts should examine the interrelationship between archaeology and the various disciplines within Quaternary science and the Earth Sciences more generally, including, for example: geology, geography, geomorphology, pedology, climatology, oceanography, geochemistry, geochronology, and geophysics. We also welcome papers that deal with the biological record of past human activity through the analysis of faunal and botanical remains and palaeoecological reconstructions that shed light on past human-environment interactions. The journal also welcomes manuscripts concerning the examination and geological context of human fossil remains as well as papers that employ analytical techniques to advance understanding of the composition and origin or material culture such as, for example, ceramics, metals, lithics, building stones, plasters, and cements. Such composition and provenance studies should be strongly grounded in their geological context through, for example, the systematic analysis of potential source materials.
