Quartar International Yearbook for Ice Age and Stone Age Research

Scope

The journal Quartär has been published by the "Hugo Obermaier Society for Ice Age and Stone Age Research" for more than 50 years. Since its foundation the Society has been closely linked to interdisciplinary Quaternary research and is represented internationally by its journal. With Volume 55 of Quartär a new editorial board takes on the challenge of confirming the publication as a leading European archaeologically oriented Quaternary research journal while at the same time maintaining its traditions. The editorial board intends to meet this challenge in future by bringing the scientific profile of Quartär more sharply into focus and close to active research. Volume 55 will introduce a new layout and make use of more up to date methods of printing and production. This will in future enable manuscripts to be published in the annually appearing volumes very soon after their submission. In order to guarantee contributions of a high scientific standard, submitted papers will be assessed by at least two persons within the framework of a review process.
