Scope
"The journal covers a broad range of multi-disciplinary topics relating to the archaeology and history of Wales and the Marches."[5] Article topics range from the earliest prehistoric discoveries to the industrial archaeology and landscape history of the 19th and 20th centuries. Occasionally, and particularly in the earlier years, articles have been published on the archaeology of other Celtic lands (Brittany, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, Scotland and Ireland). In the 19th century, articles tended to concentrate on prehistoric monuments (particularly cromlechs, chambered tombs and hill-forts), Roman sites, inscribed stones and other discoveries of the Early Middle Ages, and the architecture of medieval Wales, especially of churches, castles, and monasteries.[6] The range of opinion presented in the 19th century volumes also serves as a source of evidence for historians of the period.[7]
As the 20th century progressed, and into the 21st century, the journal has carried longer articles on excavations and field surveys in Wales. Many of these articles have been grant-aided by Cadw. The journal has also carried more synoptic articles treating particular topics in greater depth; for example, the 2005 themed issue largely devoted to the Cistercians.[8] Domestic architecture figures prominently, ranging from stately homes to the vernacular architecture of the Welsh countryside, as does the landscape of parks and gardens. The evolution of towns and the development of urban archaeology in Wales are also covered.[6]
Publication history
The journal has been published in multiple series with inconsistent volume numbering.[6] Many volumes have been digitized by the Welsh Journals Online project at the National Library of Wales. Indexes of the journal for 1846–1900,[9] 1901–1960,[10] 1961–1980,[11] and 1981–2000[12] have also been published. Later volumes each contain their own index.[6]
