This is a significant achievement given that, with only a few exceptions, the top 25 journals in this ranking consists of ‘global’ archaeology journals or archaeological science journals. This is Levant’s second highest position on SCImago rank having been in 29th position in 2015. Since 2012 Levant has continuously been in the top quartile of Archaeology and History journals.
