In 2020, the publication series ›Perspectives in Balkan Archaeology‹ was jointly launched by the Institute for Oriental and European Archaeology (OREA), the Department for the Study of Culture and Ancient Studies of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) and the Institute of Classical Archaeology of the Charles University in Prague (ICAR). It focuses on prehistoric research on various topics and periods in the Balkans and is intended as a publication medium for scientific networks between Central and Southeast Europe.

The series is edited by Barbara Horejs (OeAI), Carola Metzner-Nebelsick (LMU) and Peter Pavúk (ICAR). All submitted manuscripts are subject to international peer-review, supervised by the series editors.
