I could not find this "leading journal" in Ulrich's. so I checked further and added some additional information--I did, under the title: Fornvaennen with the variant titles Journal of Swedish Antiquarian Research and Tidskrift foer Svensk Antikvarisk Forskning. I have added them , and some additional information. I see from Ulrich's it claims to have a circulation of 2,000 and the two issns: 0015-7813 print and 1404-9430 online Its indexed in Sources(active, electronic): A A T A Online (Art and Archaeology Technical Abstracts) (coverage dropped) Anthropological Index Online Anthropological Literature British & Irish Archaeological Bibliography (Online Edition) F R A N C I S Internationale Bibliographie der Rezensionen Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaftlicher Literatur (coverage dropped) Linguistic Bibliography (coverage dropped) Nordic Archaeological Abstracts Periodicals Index Online (v.1, 1872-v.34, 1905;—Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (talk • contribs)

Archaeology is a strongly regionalised discipline. Fornvännen is leading among Scandinavian archaeologists and art historians, but completely irrelevant to e.g. US archaeologists. Just as no Swedish archaeologist needs to pay any attention to American Antiquity. Martin Rundkvist (talk) 07:29, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
