MAKE MOST OF THE KNOWLEDGE NETWORK, JOIN ACADEMIC RESEARCH FOUNDATION

Scholars are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers for the Journal of History, Art and Archaeology, a bi-annual peer reviewed journal that seeks to explore the close links between the different disciplines of history, art and archaeology. Deliberations on different aspects of the history of the world based on the great variety of newly emerging historical approaches, archaeological practices and emerging new trends in art can facilitate a re-evaluation of existing material by historians, archaeologists and art historians to help fill up the gaps in our knowledge through an inter-disciplinary approach. Papers may be on any of the following areas:

• Any aspect of history of Asia, Africa and the world.
