Telestes: An International Journal of Archaeomusicology and Archaeology of Sound is now accepting submissions for its 7th issue, scheduled for publication in 2027. The deadline for manuscript submissions is 31 December 2026.
Telestes addresses a notable gap in scholarly publications and specialist periodicals by focusing on the archaeological evidence of musical and dance interest. It endeavours to contextualise historical musical and choral performances, interpreting their cultural, religious, and social significance in ancient societies. The Journal also welcomes papers on the study of sound and hearing in archaeological contexts, examining past soundscapes and sonic fabrics, including anthrophony, biophony, and geophony.
Research spanning a broad geographical spectrum—from the Mediterranean to Northern Europe, Central and South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Rim—is highly encouraged. Cross-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary approaches are particularly valued.
