The journal aims to publish papers of significant and lasting value
written by scientists, conservators and archaeologists involved on
this field with the diffusion of specific new methodologies and
experimental results. Archeomatica will also emphasize fruitful
discussion on the best up-to-date scientific applications and
exchanging ideas and findings related to any aspect of the cultural
heritage sector.

Archeomatica is intended also to be a primary source of
