This journal began life in 1977 as the Archaeoastronomy Bulletin, published by the Center for Archaeoastronomy at the University of Maryland, USA. It was renamed from vol. 2 part 3 as Archaeoastronomy: the Bulletin of the Center for Archaeoastronomy. This continued up to vol. 5 part 4 (1982). Starting with vol. 6 (1983) it became known as Archaeoastronomy: the Journal of the Center for Archaeoastronomy and this continued until vol. 11, published in 1993.

Vols. 14 to 25 were published between 1999 and 2015 by the University of Texas Press. At this time the journal was renamed Archaeoastronomy: the Journal of Astronomy in Culture. During this period it also became the official journal of the International Society for Archaeoastronomy and Astronomy in Culture (ISAAC). See here for a full list of contents up to vol. 24. |
