Journal Title：Geoarchaeology-an International Journal

Geoarchaeology is an interdisciplinary journal published six times per year (in January, March, May, July, September and November). It presents the results of original research at the methodological and theoretical interface between archaeology and the geosciences and includes within its scope: interdisciplinary work focusing on understanding archaeological sites, their environmental context, and particularly site formation processes and how the analysis of sedimentary records can enhance our understanding of human activity in Quaternary environments. Manuscripts should examine the interrelationship between archaeology and the various disciplines within Quaternary science and the Earth Sciences more generally, including, for example: geology, geography, geomorphology, pedology, climatology, oceanography, geochemistry, geochronology, and geophysics. We also welcome papers that deal with the biological record of past human activity through the analysis of faunal and botanical remains and palaeoecological reconstructions that shed light on past human-environment interactions. The journal also welcomes manuscripts concerning the examination and geological context of human fossil remains as well as papers that employ analytical techniques to advance understanding of the composition and origin or material culture such as, for example, ceramics, metals, lithics, building stones, plasters, and cements. Such composition and provenance studies should be strongly grounded in their geological context through, for example, the systematic analysis of potential source materials.

《地質考古學》是一本跨學科期刊，每年出版六期（一月、三月、五月、七月、九月和十一月）。它介紹了考古學和地質科學之間方法論和理論接口的原創研究成果，其范圍包括：跨學科工作，重點是了解考古遺址、其環境背景，特別是遺址形成過程，以及沉積記錄的分析如何加強我們對第四紀環境中人類活動的理解。稿件應探討考古學與第四紀科學和地球科學中各個學科之間的相互關系，例如：地質學、地理學、地貌學、土壤學、氣候學、海洋學、地球化學、地質年代學和地球物理學。我們還歡迎通過分析動植物遺骸和古生態重建來處理過去人類活動的生物記錄的論文，這些論文揭示了過去的人與環境的相互作用。本期刊還歡迎有關人類化石遺骸的檢查和地質背景的稿件，以及使用分析技術來促進對陶瓷、金屬、石器、建筑石材、灰泥和水泥等物質文化的組成和起源的理解的論文。此類組成和出處研究應以地質背景為基礎，例如通過對潛在源材料的系統分析。

Geoarchaeology-an International Journal創刊于1986年，由John Wiley and Sons Inc.出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋地學 - 地球科學綜合全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數1.4，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
