Environmental Archaeology is an international peer-reviewed periodical which welcomes contributions that consider the interaction between humans and their environment in the archaeological and historical past. This broad scope embraces papers covering a range of environmental specialsms within archaeology, such as archaeobotany, archaeozoology (both vertebrate and invertebrate), palynology, geoarchaeology, biological anthropology, as well as more synthetic and theoretical approaches to the past human environment. Assemblage and site reports are not encouraged unless these can demonstrate significant new insights in environmental archaeology. Contributions may take the form of substantial research papers or shorter reports and may include, for instance, new techniques, philosophical discussions, current controversies and suggestions for new research. The journal also provides its readership with critical appraisal of recent academic scholarship through its regular books review section.

《環境考古學》是一份國際同行評議期刊，歡迎考慮考古和歷史上人類與其環境之間相互作用的貢獻。這一廣泛的范圍包括考古學的一系列環境專業的論文，如考古學植物學、考古學(脊椎動物和無脊椎動物)、孢粉學、地質考古學、生物人類學，以及對過去人類環境的更多綜合和理論研究。除非能夠證明環境考古學的重大新發現，否則不鼓勵組合和現場報告。貢獻可以是大量的研究論文或較短的報告，并可以包括，例如，新技術、哲學討論、當前的爭議和對新研究的建議。該雜志還通過其定期書評部分為其讀者提供對近期學術獎學金的批判性評價。
