Aim & Scope

The Lycus Journal aims to publish original studies that follow scientific developments in the field of archaeology, support the production of knowledge about the past, and enable the evaluation of this knowledge through contemporary methodologies. The journal seeks to contribute to the scholarly examination of the archaeological, historical, and cultural heritage of Anatolia and its surrounding cultures within a broad chronological framework, extending from antiquity to the near modern period.

The Lycus Journal covers scientific studies in the fields of Anatolian Archaeology and Historical Geography, encompassing the cultural heritage, findings, and results of archaeological excavations and surveys from the Prehistoric Period to the present day, as well as research in restoration, conservation, museology, anthropology, epigraphy, and ethno-archaeology.
In addition, the journal includes papers presenting new discoveries, applications, and analytical studies. In this context, Lycus publishes:
• Original research articles written from disciplinary or interdisciplinary perspectives,
• Interpretative studies based on the scientific evaluation of archaeological data,
• Theoretical and methodological discussions contributing to the field,
• Reviews that enrich the existing literature,
• Academic publications such as excavation and survey reports, and the presentation and evaluation of archaeological artifacts.
