Occasional Wiener Laboratory Series (OWLS)
OWLS is a new subset of the School’s Hesperia Supplement monographic series under the general editorship of Dr. Sherry C. Fox, director of the Wiener Laboratory. Although the topics covered are scientific in nature, reflecting the interests of the Wiener Laboratory, it is hoped that the books will appeal to a wide archaeological audience. Authors are therefore encouraged to avoid overly technical discussions, and clearly indicate why their work is important to researchers outside their immediate field. The first volume, New Directions in the Skeletal Biology of Greece, edited by Prof. Lynne A. Schepartz, Dr. Chryssi Bourbou, and Dr. Sherry C. Fox, is currently in production.
Guidelines for OWLS authors and potential authors and editors are available.
Two Wiener Laboratory monographs have been published in collaboration with other publishers. This is not a continuing series.
Paleodiet in the Aegean, Wiener Laboratory Monograph 1 (2000), S. J. Vaughan and W. D. E. Coulson (eds.) is available from Oxbow Books
The Practical Impact of Science on Near Eastern and Aegean Archaeology, Wiener Laboratory Monograph 3 (1999), S. Pike and S. Gitin (eds.) is available from Archetype Publications
