Archaeological sciences are now more than ever a fully integrated aspect within the field of archaeology. With the enormous wealth of techniques, methodologies, theoretical approaches, and regional case studies that have been published over the past two decades, it is time that a journal dedicated to reporting the "state of the field" of various archaeometric sub-disciplines be issued. For example, review articles can cover the use of a specific technique or methodology within a class or type of materials, a region, or some combination thereof that reports on a body of scientific approaches to the materiality of the past. Beyond excavation, it is these techniques that have delivered some of the greatest archaeological discoveries in the past two decades, and regional or methodological syntheses stand to greatly enhance the dissemination of cutting edge case studies within a broader context. Additionally, Advances in Archaeomaterials will also welcome original research, as long as it is contextualized within an expanded introductory framework, in the fields of archaeological science, cultural and industrial heritage, science and technology studies including history of science, and conservation science-as long as the focus is archaeometric research on human-made materials. Finally, special issues can be published in certain circumstances (contact the editors with queries), and manuscripts of interest to a broad audience published in Chinese can be translated into English and published as an article.
This will be the only journal dedicated to:
Articles synthesizing archaeological science research results in a region
Articles synthesizing archaeological science research results for a method or technique
Articles synthesizing archaeological science research results of specific ancient material classes (organic and inorganic)
Original research in the fields of archaeological science, cultural and industrial heritage, science and technology studies including history of science, and conservation science
Publishing English translations of Chinese scholarship to make it available to non-Chinese audiences.
Special issues can be published in certain circumstances (contact the editors with queries).

The University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB) is a multi-disciplinary institution dedicated to excellence in teaching and research, preparing its students to take on the challenges of the 21st century. USTB is home to 25,000 students, with nearly half pursuing a graduate degree and over 1,800 teaching faculty. Here students and teachers work together, alongside our many partners in private industry and academic institutions, to engage in cutting-edge research, particularly in the fields of materials science and engineering, metallurgical engineering, and mining engineering. With the motto of “Seeking Truth and Promoting Innovation”, USTB is committed to providing quality education and real-world opportunities to future generations of scholars and industry innovators.
USTB takes pride in being a leader and innovator amongst Chinese universities and has been responsible for many “firsts” in the nation. USTB developed the country’s first electric arc furnace, designed the housing materials for China’s first satellite Dong Fang Hong 1, and built the nation’s first industrial-size robot. In recognition of our achievements, USTB has been chosen as one of the first universities to participate in several national high-level initiatives, including the “211 Project” and “985 Platform for National Advanced Disciplines Innovation”, as well as being one of the first universities permitted to establish a graduate degree program and establish a partnership with a foreign university during the reforming and opening-up period. In 2017 we were chosen to be part of the national “Double First-class Initiative” to build four first-class disciplines. As a university of “firsts”, USTB continually strives to be a leading innovator in both China and the global community.
The Institute for Cultural Heritage and History of Science and Technology of USTB upholds a spirit of truth-seeking, pragmatism, and rigor. We strive to conduct cutting-edge, cross-disciplinary research in fields such as the history of metallurgy and materials, the archaeology of crafts, industries, and livelihoods, traditional craftsmanship, and the study of science, technology, and society. Our work drives theoretical innovation and practical exploration, fostering interdisciplinary integration between the sciences and humanities.
