《考古展望》是一份跨學科的期刊，旨在:向專業考古學家、地方當局和遺址開發商介紹應用于考古遺址的各種科學技術的實踐和解釋。促進考古學家與勘探技術工作者之間的合作研究，以提高基于這些技術的考古解釋的可靠性。鼓勵國際上對現場程序、數據表示和解釋廣泛的勘探技術進行討論，促進多技術比較，從而加強科學合作。傳播有關新(或新應用的)勘探技術的信息。提供相關技術和應用的回顧。提供一個討論專業考古勘探最佳實踐的論壇。該期刊的地理范圍將是國際性的，涵蓋所有類型的考古遺址。城市、農村、海洋等)及各種基礎地質。該雜志將刊載有關廣泛勘探技術的考古用途的文章，包括遙感(航空和衛星)地球物理(例如。電阻率磁測等)和地球化學(如。有機標志、土壤磷酸鹽等)。歡迎新技術的報告和實地評價。該雜志還將討論相關軟件在考古勘探數據中的應用。該雜志歡迎有關將考古勘探技術應用于歷史建筑環境方面的貢獻。特別鼓勵關于綜合場址評價和后續挖掘的報告。該期刊將酌情包含圖書評論會議和會議評論以及軟件評估。所有論文都將接受同行評審。

Archaeological Prospection is an interdisciplinary journal intended to: Inform professional archaeologists local authorities and site developers about the practice and interpretation of a wide range of scientific techniques applied to archaeological sites. Promote collaborative research between archaeologists and practitioners of prospection techniques with a view to improving the reliability of archaeological interpretations based on these techniques. Encourage international discussion of field procedures data presentation and interpretation of a wide range of prospection techniques and promote multi-technique comparisons thus enhancing scientific collaboration. Disseminate information about new (or newly applied) prospecting techniques. Provide reviews of relevant techniques and applications. Provide a forum for the discussion of best practice in professional archaeological prospection. Scope of the Journal The geographical scope of the Journal will be international covering all types of archaeological site (eg. urban rural marine etc.) and the full range of underlying geology. The Journal will contain articles relating to the archaeological uses of a wide range of prospecting techniques including remote sensing (airborne and satellite) geophysical (eg. resistivity magnetometry etc.) and geochemical (eg. organic markers soil phosphate etc.). Reports and field evaluations of new techniques will be welcomed. The Journal will also discuss the application of relevant software to the data derived from archaeological prospection. The Journal will welcome contributions relating to the application of archaeological prospection techniques to the historic built environment. Reports on integrated site evaluations and follow-up excavations will be particularly encouraged. The Journal will as appropriate contain book reviews conference and meeting reviews and software evaluation. All papers will be subjected to peer review.
