SOUTHERN AFRICAN HUMANITIES
Southern African Humanities has its origins in the Annals of the Natal Museum, first published in 1906. Though dominated by natural science, the Annals carried human science articles from the beginning, and especially after 1970 when archaeological research in Natal and Zululand swelled dramatically. In response, the Natal Museum established the Natal Museum Journal of Humanities in 1989, then changed the journal name to Southern African Humanities in 2001. The volume run continued unchecked.
    Today Southern African Humanities is a vehicle for archaeological, anthropological and pre- and early colonial historical research, especially for research that concerns material culture. Articles can be data-oriented or synthetic. There is no page limit, but article length must be appropriate for the the topic.
