About the Journal
Project
Founded in 2020, the Bulletin archéologique des Écoles françaises à l’étranger (BAEFE) brings together the work of five major research institutions: the French School at Athens, the French School at Rome, the French Institute of Oriental Archaeology, the French School of Asian Studies, and the Casa de Velázquez, united within the Network of French Schools Abroad.
The BAEFE provides unified access to current archaeological research previously published separately and across a variety of formats. An exclusively digital, multilingual journal with continuous publication, it covers a broad geographical area ranging from the Mediterranean basin and the Balkans to India and East Asia.
Drawing on their extensive field presence, these five prestigious institutions conduct major excavation campaigns each year at internationally renowned heritage sites — including Pompeii, Delphi, Karnak, Baelo Claudia, Angkor, Delos, and Deir el-Medina — and rely on a wide community of established scholars from France and beyond. Active in more than twenty countries, they develop long-term networks of scientific cooperation, making them key actors in French research abroad.
Through the creation of the BAEFE, the French Schools Abroad seek to make the results of their work available to the scholarly community within a shared and open editorial framework. The BAEFE thus affirms the position of French archaeology on the global scholarly stage.
