About the Journal

Overview

Studies in Ancient Art and Civilization were created in 1991 as an irregular series which in the first place served as a forum for the presentation of the Jagiellonian University Institute of Archaeology and studies provided by its researchers. The series was originated by Professor Joachim Śliwa, who was also its first Editor in Chief. In the years 2010–2014 this function was held by Professor Ewdoksia Papuci-Władyka, and since 2015 it has been fulfilled by Professor Jarosław Bodzek. Since vol. 10 (2007) SAAC has become a regular yearly periodical owned and managed by the Jagiellonian University Institute of Archaeology.

Until present twenty one volumes have been published, among them three monographic studies (vol. 3: Les palettes egyptiennes aux motifs zoomorphes et sans decoration by K. Ciałowicz, vol. 11: Pontika 2006 conference proceedings edited by E. Papuci-Władyka, vol. 18 Proceedeings of the Sixth Central European Conference of Egyptologists edited by J. Dębowska-Ludwin, M. Jucha, P. Kołodziejczyk) and four volumes dedicated to distinguished researchers from our Institute on the occasion of their jubilees (vols. 8 – Professor Maria Ludwika Bernhard, 14 – Professor Joachim Śliwa, 15 – Professor Janusz A. Ostrowski, 17 – Professor Ewdoksia Papuci-Władyka).

Since 2010 (vol. 14) the publisher has been Księgarnia Akademicka Publishing Ltd. in Krakow.
