Antiquity website

Client: Antiquity Journal
Dates: Ongoing

Overview
Antiquity, a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal of archaeology, founded by O.G.S. Crawford in 1927, is well-known as one of the foremost publications in the field. Since it's relocation to the University of York in 2003 under the new editorship of Martin Carver, Heritage Technology has worked in close partnership to develop the journal's web presence.

Heritage Technology developed a new website for the journal in Autumn 2009, and provides ongoing support to maintain and develop this resource. The new website saw the creation of Antiquity Bulletin, a new resource of free-to-access, web-only content including:

  • Short, illustrated articles detailing archaeological projects and new research from around the world.
  • A 'new doctorates' facility, allowing recent graduates to upload their abstracts and search theses by topic or keyword.
  • Access free content from the current issue of Antiquity Journal.
  • Recent announcements concerning workshops, conferences and events.

Antiquity Bulletin will run alongside Antiquity Journal, which will remain accessible via online subscription. Heritage Technology fulfills the ongoing role to update the website with new content and present the new issue of Antiquity Journal every quarter.
