About the Journal
Ancient Lanka is a collaboratively peer-reviewed and collaboratively edited open-access journal that explores Sri Lanka’s past. The journal publishes on a flexible, rolling schedule and uses a multidisciplinary approach to develop content for both academic and public audiences. Invited reports on archaeological excavations, surveys, material culture, and commentary related to reconstructing Sri Lanka’s past are considered for publication.
Ancient Lanka follows a diamond open-access model: free to read and free to publish in, with no author fees. The journal is sustained through volunteer editorial work and institutional support. This model helps keep Sri Lankan archaeological research accessible to global communities without cost barriers.
The editorial team consists of volunteer professional peers who work directly and collaboratively with authors. The journal follows an open review process rather than blinded peer review, to support transparency and constructive scholarly exchange.
