Journal content makes use of the potential of internet publication to present archaeological research (excavation reports, methodology, analyses, applications of information technology) in ways that could not be achieved in print, such as searchable data sets, visualisations/virtual reality models, and interactive mapping.{{cite journal|doi=10.1017/S0003598X00094552 | issue=310 | pages=970–979 | title=Archaeology, e-publication and the Semantic Web | year=2015 | journal=Antiquity | volume=80 | last1 = Richards | first1 = Julian| s2cid=159879327 }} The journal's content is archived by the Archaeology Data Service.
