Studies in Ancient Art and Civilization was created in 1991 by Professor Joachim Śliwa
as an occasional series and since vol. 10 (2007) has become a regular annual journal edited by the Jagiellonian University Institute of Archaeology. Księgarnia Akademicka Ltd. has been the publisher since 2011.
Twenty three volumes have been published to date, among them two monographs, two conference proceedings and three festschrifts for distinguished researchers from our Institute.
SAAC publishes papers in the fields of the archaeology, art and civilization of ancient Egypt, the Near East, Greece and its colonies, Cyprus and Rome, as well as other, non-Mediterranean ancient civilizations; also in the history of archaeology, antiquities collecting and the reception of ancient culture in modern Europe. Special attention is given to topics concerning predynastic and early-dynastic Egypt, the Greek and Roman periods in the Black Sea region, and the archaeology of Cyprus, thanks to excavations conducted by researchers from our Institute in these areas. Material from these excavations is published in SAAC.
