About TMA
Tijdschrift voor Mediterrane Archeologie (Journal of Mediterranean Archaeology) is a Dutch journal that has been publishing current Mediterranean archaeological research since 1988. Issues appear twice a year, one of which is dedicated to a theme such as landscape archaeology, zooarchaeology, architecture, gender or religion. The journal aims to publish a variety of articles written by established academics as well as junior researchers. Next to full-length articles, TMA offers reviews of recently published books and keeps the reader up-to-date on new or ongoing research through short research introductions.
If you wish to publish your research, write a book review or a research introduction/update, you can contact us. We do accept articles in English under the conditions that you are affiliated to a Dutch or Flemish institution or otherwise based in the Netherlands or Belgium and that your research is in the field of Mediterranean archaeology.
In the menu on the left, click on ‘colofon’ for contact information or ‘voor auteurs’ to find our guidelines for writing articles.
Open Access
Tijdschrift voor Mediterrane Archeologie will soon switch to Diamond Open Access publishing. From then on, our publications will be made available digitally without financial or technical barriers; our paper journal will continue to appear as usual.
This also means that older contributions will become freely accessible. We are opting for digital publication using a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license. We will make every attempt to comply with copyright laws and to respect the rights of all authors. If you have published in TMA in the past and object to digital publication of your contribution or if you would like to publish under a different license, please contact us before January 1st 2024 by emailing tijdschrift@mediterrane-archeologie.nl.

About TMA
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. Contributions are written in Dutch; non-Dutch authors can submit their contribution in English. TMA is aimed at a readership of archaeologists and the general public with an interest in scholarly archaeology.
