The Journal of the Offa’s Dyke Collaboratory

Editors: Howard Williams and Liam Delaney

Offa’s Dyke Journal is a venue for the publication of high-quality research on the archaeology, history and heritage of frontiers and borderlands. Focusing on the Anglo-Welsh border, the journal explores the significance, use and reuse of linear monuments (‘walls’, ‘dykes’ and ‘ramparts’) including Offa’s Dyke, Wat’s Dyke and the ‘short dykes’ of western Britain. ODJ explores comparative studies of the material cultures, monumentalities, life-histories and landscape contexts of frontiers and borderlands across early medieval Europe, as well as those form elsewhere across the globe, past and present.
