The series ‚Acta Didactica Classica. Bielefelder Beiträge zur Didaktik der Alten Sprachen in Schule und Universität‘ is placed at the intersection of the academic discourse and the teaching methodology of the classical languages Latin and Greek.

The Heidelberg book series Archaeology – Culture – Theory (ACT) shall provide a forum for all those who wish to explore the potential of Classical archaeology as a method of cultural analyses beyond its strict disciplinary boundaries.

The thematic spectrum covers the entire range of archeology from the Paleolithic to the Early Modern Era, including related natural sciences.

Archäologische Quellen (Arch. Quellen) are a monograph series founded by DGUF in 2017 which serves as a collection of “sources”, i.e. documentation of excavations, finds etc. These are presented without any in-depth research analysis. The sources only offer very few clues on the finds; they serve as raw material for further scientific investigation which can then be presented in future publications. The Archäologische Quellen are published in a print edition and – in collaboration with Heidelberg University Library - online in the golden way Open Access. The online edition may include additional material such as large-format maps of digs and open data.  

These volumes form the final publication of the 19th International Congress of Classical Archaeology, which was held from 22 to 26 May 2018 in Cologne and Bonn on behalf of the 'Associazione Internazionale di Archaeologica Classica (AIAC)'.

In the series, 49 of these panels have been presented as independent thematic volumes. The further contributions are compiled in four collective volumes.
