	Journal of Greek Archaeology ISSN: 2059-4674 (print); 2059-4682 (online) A new international journal launching in Autumn 2016. The scope of this journal is Greek archaeology both in the Aegean and throughout the wider Greek-inhabited world, from earliest Prehistory to the Modern Era. The editorial board is headed by Prof. John Bintliff (Edinburgh University, U.K. and Leiden University, The Netherlands). Email: johnlbintliff@gmail.com
	Journal of Hellenistic Pottery and Material Culture For the Hellenistic Period ceramics and other commodities of daily life represent probably the most neglected objects in archaeological research. Yet, apart from monographs, the publication of conference proceedings, which usually follow several years after the event, have remained the principal method of disseminating research results. Still lacking is a publication appearing regularly and at short intervals, that focusses research on Hellenistic pottery and is easily accessible. The Journal of Hellenistic Pottery – JHP – wants to close this gap.
