Cambridge World Archaeology

Cambridge World Archaeology aspires to define the state of the field by providing definitive regional archaeological syntheses, thematic accounts of core issues, and comparative analyses that put world areas into conversation. The books are intended for a global audience of professional archaeologists, scholars, students, and anyone else wanting an up-to-date account of the discipline. Regional syntheses have long been a defining focus of CWA books. We seek books on regions both well-known and neglected. Some region’s covered by earlier publications in CWA’s list are ready for re-study that can bring them up to date with new data and emerging interpretive priorities. Thematic studies in areas such as colonization and decolonization, heritage, gender, sovereignty, liberation, climate, and ecology provide an opportunity to develop a global vision of world archaeology. We are looking for themes that will resonate widely across world areas and set the agenda for archaeology in the years that follow. Comparative analyses enhance CWA’s regional focus by bringing two (or more) world areas into conversation, illuminating a general theoretical problem and deepening understanding of all areas under discussion. We seek books that can revive traditional areas of comparison but also open new pathways for multi-regional analysis.
