About the Journal

Neo-Lithics. The Newsletter of Southwest Asian Neolithic Research was founded in 1994 by Hans Georg K. Gebel and Gary O. Rollefson as a journal of the independent scientific and non-profit association ex oriente e.V., and has since then been published at the Free University Berlin. Since 2018, Neo-Lithics is available as an open access e-journal, since 2021 as a Propylaeum-eJournal. It is edited by an international board.

Topics: Neo-Lithics provides timely and comprehensive information on current research and topics in the prehistoric archaeology of Southwest Asia, with a special focus on Neolithic research. Excavation and conference reports, book reviews as well as current information pertaining to this subject area are welcome. If you would like to guest edit a special issue on a particular topic, please contact the editors.

Publication Procedure: Articles can be submitted at any time via a member of the editorial board, and must pass an internal review process. Edited articles are successively published online open access.
