The Journal of Music Archaeology (JMA) is a peer-reviewed open-access periodical dedicated to the field of music archaeology. It addresses questions concerning the archaeology of sound and rhythmical behaviour of past cultures all over the globe, including the study and reconstruction of certain or possible sound tools, the investigation of soundscapes, especially where intentionally chosen or erected, as well as related historical, anthropological and ethnological research based on iconographies, literatures, and comparative studies reflecting the wide range of approaches and methodologies that has characterised music archaeology from its beginnings. The journal will appear yearly, with the option of publishing online first.

The second issue covers topics ranging from Europe to pre-Columbian America and Southern China, from prehistoric to modern times, covering musical expressions of both human and non-human races. Musical tools from various materials are discussed, including reed, clay, metal, and bone, while the cultural meaning of others is assessed from pictorial sources. Besides more traditional approaches, contributions avail themselves of the methodologies of experimental archaeology, numerical modelling and psychological evaluation.
