Paléorient is a peer-reviewed academic journal covering research on the prehistory and protohistory of southwestern and central Asia. Its aim is to promote discussions between prehistorians, archaeologists and anthropologists whose field of research goes from the eastern Mediterranean to the Indus, from central Asia to the Persian Gulf, as well as specialists of various disciplines related to the evolution of Man in his natural environment from the Palaeolithic period to the Early Bronze Age. Paléorient publishes biannually review papers, information notes and book reviews – mainly in English and in French, and some of the issues are thematic.

History

The journal was established in 1973 by Jean Perrot and Bernard Vandermeersch with the help of the Wener Gren Foundation and was first published by Klincksiek Editions (1973) and later by the Association Paléorient (1974–1975). In 1975 it became a journal of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS); it is presently published by CNRS Éditions.[1] Between 1973 and 1992 the journal was taken in by the Laboratoire de paléontologie des vertébrés et de paléontologie humaine at the Université Paris VI, and from 1997 by the Maison de l’archéologie et de l’ethnologie René Ginouvès (now Maison des Sciences de l’Homme - Mondes).[2]

Access

The entire journal is available online with a two-year moving wall on the free portal Persée and on the JSTOR platform (also with a two-year moving wall).
