A new peer-reviewed intercontinental multidisciplinary journal has just been announced: Journal of the North Atlantic (JONA). Apart from my discipline, JONA will also cover paleo-environmental reconstruction and modelling, historical ecology, anthropology, ecology of organisms important to humans, human/environment/climate interactions, climate history, ethnography, ethnohistory, historical analyses, discussions of cultural heritage, and place-name studies. Its offices are in Maine and the editorial board includes people based in the US, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, the Faeroes, the Shetlands, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, the UK and Ireland. Senior editors are Jette Arneborg, Gerald F. Bigelow, Andrew J. Dugmore and Orri Vésteinsson.

(I'm guessing my Stockholm colleagues who put out Journal of Nordic Archaeological Science, JONAS, won't be entirely happy.)
