Описание
The fifteenth volume of Studia Praehistorica celebrates new beginnings: d new editorial board, simultaneous print and online (open access) editions, new peer review procedures, major format changes, and last but not least, a firm resolution to publish subsequent volumes regularly, at the end of every year.
Most papers in this volume are based on presentations that were given at the international symposium Prehistoric Houses in the Balkans: Profane and Sacred Context (sixth to fifth millennium BC), 14th-17th May, 2015, Stara Zagora, Bulgaria, organized by Professor Vassil Nikolov of the National Institute of Archaeology and Museum. The next issues will also have main themes but will include book reviews and debates on topical concerns, as well, and will cover the time span from the Paleolithic to the Early Iron Age in the Balkans and neighboring areas.
