The Journal of Egyptian Archaeology or JEA (ISSN 0307-5133) is a scientific journal containing scholarly articles and reviews of recent books of importance to Egyptology.
It is one of the most well-known and respected Egyptological journals, and has been published annually since 1914 by the Egypt Exploration Society (EES) of London, United Kingdom. It is issued around the beginning of each year to all "Category 1" members of the Society, as part of their yearly subscription.
Previous issues of the JEA may be obtained from the Egypt Exploration Society's distributors: Oxbow Books (Oxford, UK), and the David Brown Book Company, (Connecticut, USA).
As is normal with Egyptological journals, articles written in other languages, principally German and French, are accepted for publication.
From the publication of JEA 93 (2007), the Journal's editorial board will be located at the School of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology, University of Liverpool, England. The Editor-in-Chief is Dr Mark Collier, a philologist of the ancient Egyptian language.
Famous quotes containing the words journal and/or egyptian:
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
“He will to his Egyptian dish again.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
