Research Papers


The Prehistoric Society Research Papers publish collections of edited papers covering aspects of Prehistory. These may be derived from conferences, or research projects; they specifically exclude the publication of single excavation reports. The Research Papers present the fruits of the best of prehistoric research, complementing the Society’s respected Proceedings by allowing broader treatment of key research areas.

The Research Papers form a peer-reviewed series whose production is managed by the Society.
