      Scope


      The journal's focus is on the role and development of human intellectual abilities. It covers theoretical and descriptive archaeological research, ranging from art and iconography, burial and ritual, representations and symbolism, to the evolution of human cognition. The journal covers all eras and all areas, from the Lower Palaeolithic to Colonialism, and from the Pacific to Central Asia. Of note, figurine studies have been widely discussed in several surveys, but in particular in its 1996 feature "Can We Interpret Figurines?". The journal often publishes on Maya archaeology.
