Glevensis

Gloucestershire Archaeology (GlosArch) publishes annually, each April, a journal called GLEVENSIS (meaning ‘of Gloucester’). The journal is available in A4 softback format, usually of 60 or more pages, illustrated with many plans, line drawings and photographs. GLEVENSIS, which is available free to members, contains reports and articles, often by members themselves, both amateur and professional, covering a range of Gloucestershire archaeological and local history topics. It is recognised as maintaining a good academic and production standard. This is reflected by the fact that local government and contracting units often publish their interim reports, and sometime their only ones, in this review. Regular articles include annual reports on GlosArch fieldwork, from the Portable Antiquities Scheme for Gloucestershire, and Cotswold Archaeology and a biannual report on archaeological activity in Gloucester by the city archaeologist, including excavations and watching briefs.

The journal is available on-line via the GlosArch website. The contents pages of all Glevensis issues can be searched here and all except the two most recent volumes are free to download. The two most recent issues are available to members to download by logging in to the members area of the website.

Non-members can purchase paper copies of the current issue at cost price, plus postage and packing as appropriate. Some back numbers can be purchased at reduced cost. Copies of the current issue cost £4.50, plus £2.50 postage in the UK. Previous years’ issues (where available) cost £3.00 (plus £2.50 postage).
