Rivista di Archeologia is an Italian scholarly journal dedicated to archaeological research, field reports, and theoretical debates, published in Italy and read across Europe and the Mediterranean. It bridges work from Classical archaeology, Medieval studies, and Near Eastern archaeology while engaging with excavations in Rome, Pompeii, Florence, and Palermo. Contributors have included researchers affiliated with the Università di Roma, Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, École française de Rome, and the British School at Rome.
Rivista di Archeologia was founded in the mid-20th century amid post-World War II reconstruction efforts that involved institutions such as the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, the Soprintendenza Archeologia, and the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities. Early issues reported on excavations at Ostia Antica, Herculaneum, and the Forum Romanum and featured correspondence with scholars linked to the British Museum, the Louvre, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. During the 1960s and 1970s the journal published debates engaging figures associated with the École du Louvre, the German Archaeological Institute, and the Oriental Institute, reflecting comparative studies from Greece, Anatolia, and Egypt. In later decades it documented collaborations with UNESCO, the Getty Conservation Institute, and the European Research Council while expanding coverage to include finds from Sicily, Sardinia, and the Levant.
The journal covers field archaeology, material culture studies, epigraphy, numismatics, and architectural analysis with case studies from sites such as Pompeii, Paestum, Tarquinia, and Knossos and with comparative references to Mycenae, Troy, and Çatalhöyük. Articles engage with inscriptions related to the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, coin hoards catalogued by the British Numismatic Society, and artefacts conserved following methods promulgated by the International Council on Monuments and Sites and the ICOMOS Venice Charter. Thematic issues have addressed Roman road networks with links to Via Appia, Hadrian's Wall, and Via Egnatia, and have discussed maritime archaeology in the context of the Uluburun shipwreck, the Antikythera mechanism, and Alexandria. Contributions have examined material from the Vatican Museums, the National Archaeological Museum in Naples, the Uffizi, and the Capitoline Museums while situating finds within debates influenced by scholars from the University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, and Harvard University.
The editorial board has traditionally included editors and section editors drawn from the Università di Bologna, Università di Padova, Sapienza University of Rome, and the Scuola Archeologica Italiana di Atene, with advisory input from members of the British School at Athens and the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut. Peer review follows double-blind procedures comparable to standards used by journals associated with the Archaeological Institute of America, the Society for American Archaeology, and the European Association of Archaeologists, and articles are evaluated by referees from institutions such as the École Française d'Athènes, the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, and the Institut Català d'Arqueologia Clàssica. Editorial policies reference ethical guidelines promoted by ICOM and UNESCO conventions on cultural property and collaborate with museum curators from the Ashmolean Museum, the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, and the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.
Published quarterly in Italian with abstracts in English, the journal is distributed through university libraries including the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma, the British Library, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, and the Library of Congress. Subscriptions and institutional access involve partnerships with academic presses similar to those of Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and Routledge, and the journal is available through consortia servicing the Italian research network CINECA and pan-European aggregators like JSTOR and Project MUSE. Physical copies are held in collections at the Louvre, the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli, and the Getty Research Institute, and special issues have been presented at conferences organized by the International Congress of Classical Archaeology and the European Association of Archaeologists.
Rivista di Archeologia is indexed in bibliographic databases used by scholars at the Scopus, Web of Science, and the Directory of Open Access Journals, and it is cited in monographs from publishers such as Brill, Routledge, and Cambridge University Press. Reviews appear in periodicals like Antiquity, Journal of Roman Studies, and the American Journal of Archaeology, and its impact has been assessed in bibliometric studies alongside journals including the Journal of Archaeological Science, Antiquités Africaines, and Anatolian Studies. The journal has been lauded for excavation reports from Paestum and Herculaneum and critiqued in methodological debates involving proponents from the University of Leiden, the University of Tübingen, and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales.
Notable contributions have included primary reports on stratigraphy at Pompeii referencing work by scholars from the British School at Rome and the Soprintendenza Archeologia, syntheses of Roman urbanism drawing on comparisons with Ostia and Aquileia, and analytical studies of Etruscan tombs from Tarquinia with parallels to finds in Cerveteri and Orvieto. The journal published influential numismatic analyses connected to the Royal Numismatic Society and interpretive essays on the Antikythera mechanism that engaged researchers from the National Archaeological Museum of Athens and the University of Thessaloniki. Key methodological pieces engaged theoretical perspectives associated with processual and post-processual archaeology debated by authors connected to the University of Arizona, the University of Chicago, and Durham University.
