The trilingual Annual Review of Swiss Archaeology publishes the results from current research from various time periods. Furthermore, the most recent discoveries in Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein are presented in short essays. Reviews and an up to date list of publications on archaeological research in Switzerland complete the volume. The annual has been running since 1908 and has since changed its name several times. „Jahresbericht der Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Urgeschichte” (title of volume 1, 1908 to volume 29, 1937). „Jahrbuch der Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Urgeschichte” (title of volume 30, 1938 to volume 52, 1965). „Jahrbuch der Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Ur- und Frühgeschichte” (title of volume 53, 1966/67 to volume 88, 2005). Annual Review of Swiss Archaeology (title of volume 89, 2006 onwards).

The Society Archaeology Switzerland (until 2005: Swiss Society of Prehistory and Archaeology SSPA) - founded in 1907 - is a society made up of members from all four language regions of Switzerland. Around half of these are archaeology enthusiasts from all walks of life, the remainder are specialists, students and corporate bodies.

The society promotes public and official awareness of Swiss archaeology as well as the research of the archaeological sources in Switzerland.

It advocates the preservation and protection of archaeological monuments and carries out archaeological projects in close collaboration with cantons, universities, academies and various institutions and societies.

Besides the annual review, the society publishes its quarterly journal “as. - archäologie schweiz” (as. - archaeology switzerland) as well as other publications and also organises numerous events.
