The ANSH (Archaeological Bulletin from Schleswig-Holstein) offers interesting insights into current topics in the archaeology of the federal state of Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany. Research projects, discourses and theories are presented in an informative accessible scientific statement. In addition to employees of the Schleswig-Holstein State Archaeological Office, scientists from Kiel University, the Museum of Archaeology at Gottorf Castle and the Leibniz Center for Archaeology in Schleswig, as well as institutions involved in the archaeology of Schleswig-Holstein, contribute to the material of ANSH. The aim of this journal is to allow interested citizens to participate in the state’s archaeology and to revive and deepen public awareness of the state’s oldest history.

The journal bears the name of a presumably legendary king of the Angles, whose kingdom was located in Schleswig-Holstein and who was praised for his valour and wisdom. The articles in ‘Offa’, which has been published since 1936, have always covered a broad chronological spectrum from prehistory to the Middle Ages. Over the years, numerous archaeologists from Scandinavia, Western, Central and Eastern Europe have presented their research findings here. Today, ‘Offa’ is an internationally oriented, recognised specialist journal. All articles undergo a peer review process before publication.
