"Review - English ""Though starting with volume 1, the annual Zeitschrift fur Archaologie Aussereuropaischer Kulturen ( ZAAK) is a well-established journal, formerly known as Beitrage zur Allgemeinen und Vergleichenden Archaologie. Founded in 1979, the organ of the Kommission fur Archaologie Aussereuropaischer Kulturen, a branch of the Deutsches Archaologisches Institut (DAI), is devoted to research principally in pre-colonial Asia, Africa and the Americas. The new title reflects a change in perception after 25 years, no longer afraid that the term 'Non-European' represents a Eurocentric viewpoint; quite the opposite, the journal celebrates autonomy and multiplicity in the cultures it studies (editorial, p. 6). With the establishmentof an international editorial board and peer-review, the journal will continue to report on the DAI's Non-European projects, but will seek to promote more actively international discussion. Volume 1 of the ZAAK lives up to expectations: this hardbackof just over 300 pages with good quality graphics contains 10 articles (3 each in German and Spanish, 4 in English) on aspects of material culture in China, Mongolia, India and Cambodia, burials in Peru and Bolivia and a study of Recuay sculpturein the Peruvian Andes. A multilingual publication is a welcome sight, but it may be a good idea, in future, to add summaries in the journal's other languages and adopt a more consistent policy towards translating captions (only some are translated intoGerman). Volume 1 ends with a report on the DAI's 2005 activities in southern Peru, Bolivia, the Moroccan Rif, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and the palace of Karakorum in Mongolia. The fieldwork summaries are enriched by the generous inclusion of excellent colour photographs.""In: Antiquity. Vol. 81(issue 312). June 2007. p. 499-501."
