Share research that can stand on its own.

Tempus Fugit accepts submissions from academic researchers, students, independent historians, archaeologists, experimental archaeologists and experienced living-history practitioners.

What we publish

We are interested in work that adds something useful to the study or reconstruction of the early medieval world. That may be a conventional research article, a focused object study, an analysis of a written source, an archaeological interpretation, or a carefully documented experimental report.

  • Research articles: Long-form studies with a clear question, evidence, argument and bibliography.
  • Field notes: Shorter observations from archives, excavations, collections, events or ongoing projects.
  • Experimental reports: Practical experiments that document materials, methods, results, failures and interpretation.
  • Object studies: Focused studies of artefacts, typologies, production techniques, use or context.

Our editorial standard

Tempus Fugit does not require every contributor to hold an academic position. It does require authors to take evidence seriously. We look for clearly stated questions, transparent methods, appropriate source use, sensible conclusions and honest treatment of uncertainty.

Important: Publication on Tempus Fugit is editorial publication, not a claim of formal peer review unless a specific article is explicitly identified as such.

Before you submit

Please read the submission guidelines and editorial policy. Articles should normally include references or a clear source list, and images must be your own or properly licensed.
