Focus and Scope

ODJ is a brand-new peer-reviewed venue for the publication of high-quality research promoting the archaeology, history and heritage of frontiers and borderlands focusing on the Anglo-Welsh border and comparative perspectives.

The editors invite submissions that explore dimensions of Offa’s Dyke, Wat’s Dyke and the ‘short dykes’ of western Britain, including their life-histories and landscape contexts. ODJ will also consider investigations of frontiers and borderlands from elsewhere in Britain, Europe and beyond from prehistory to the contemporary world, with a focus on human-made frontiers and borderlands and resistance to them.

We accept:

  • Notes of up to 3,ooo words
  • Interim reports on fieldwork of up to 5,000 words
  • Journal articles of up to 10,000 words

ODJ will be published by JAS Arqueología, and is supported by the University of Chester and the Offa’s Dyke Association.

The journal will be open access: free to authors and readers.

Print copies of the journal will be made available for purchase to members of the Offa’s Dyke Association and the general public through the Offa’s Dyke Centre.
