Peuce (Serie Nouă) - Studii şi cercetari de istorie şi arheologie
Peuce (New Series) - History and Archaeology Studies and Research

The PEUCE Journal was printed for the first time in 1971 by the Danube Delta Museum in Tulcea. Thirteen numbers, comprising 16 fascicles, were published between 1971 and 2000. Most of them were dedicated to archaeology and ancient history, but there were also published volumes dedicated to natural sciences (botany, zoology, geology, geography), ethnography, museology, national heritage, restoration. Many of them are ample volumes (over 500 pages), with original, good quality contributions, written by well-known specialists in these various scientific fields. Several of these publications represent the result of conferences organised by the museum.

In 2003, ICEM Tulcea has launched a new series of the Peuce Journal, dedicated exclusively to researches in ancient history and archaeology, as well as interdisciplinary researches in these areas. Presently, the journal focuses on: ancient history, archaeology, zooarchaeology, palinology, geology, archaeometallurgy, bibliology etc. From a chronological perspective, the research must be circumscribed to the period between Palaeolithic and the end of the Middle Ages, in the Balck Sea area, with special focus on the Lower Danube region.

The access to the published material is free of charge. The users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print and post links to the integral texts of the articles and studies, without previous permission from the editors and authors.

Peuce Journal publishes articles from the following fields: ancient history, archaeology, art, historiography, architecture, epigraphy, numismatics, anthropology, archaeozoology, palynology, geology, metallography, archival studies etc., dedicated to a period starting from the Palaeolithic until the end of the Middle Ages and focusing, broadly, on the regions directly connected to the Black Sea, especially the Lower Danube area.

Peuce Journal will not accept papers that have been previously published or to be published at the same time, except for articles in foreign journals that are not easily accessible to Romanian readers, subject to the approval of the editorial board.

The papers should be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word .doc or .docx, using diacritical marks if written in Romanian, applying single spaced paragraphs and Palatino Linotype font of the following sizes:

Figures:               -      if linear, in two shades (black and white), minimum resolution 500 dpi;

Sequentially numbered footnotes will follow the British referencing system: author, year of publication, cited page, and figure/table if applicable. A bibliography list in alphabetical order by name of the authors and chronologically in case of several publications by one author will be annexed to the article. 

The alphabet of the source publication will be used in both the footnotes and the reference list (in the case of books or papers in Russian, Bulgarian or Greek).

The bibliography list will mention the following information:
