... a new archaeology and environmental history journal!
The Journal of the North Atlantic (JONA) is a multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed and edited archaeology and environmental history journal focusing on the peoples of the North Atlantic, their expansion into the region over time, and their interactions with their changing environment.
Since it is a full-featured online-only journal, articles can be quickly
published and made available to researchers worldwide. Journal content
can be conveniently accessed both by subscription and on a single
article basis. The journal has no publication fees, even for special
volumes and large monographs. The journal is indexed in a full range
of journal content databases.
The journal publishes a wide diversity of research papers, as well as research summaries and general interest articles in closely related disciplines, which, when considered together, help contribute to a comprehensive multi-disciplinary understanding of the historical interplay between cultural and environmental changes in the North Atlantic world. Specifically, the journal's focus includes paleo-environmental reconstruction and modeling, historical ecology, archaeology, ecology of organisms important to humans, anthropology, human/environment/climate interactions, climate history, ethnography, ethnohistory, historical analyses, discussions of cultural heritage, and place-name studies.
The journal is part of the BioOne.org database. This database allows authors to include supporting files such as video, database, powerpoint, and audio files, and to freely include color photographs, maps, and figures with their articles.

The Skálholt Map, whose first version dates back to 1570, is
the earliest cartographic attempt to combine knowledge of the vast North
Atlantic region with the travel accounts contained in the Viking Sagas.
This map provided the principle clue which led to the discovery of the
Viking site, L'Anse-aux Meadows, on the Northern tip of Newfoundland.
