This paper discusses academic periodical publications on Latvian prehistory and archaeology. Three periods of periodical publications are distinguished: the time of the Republic of Latvia, 1920s–1930s; the period of Soviet occupation, 1945–1990; and the period since the restoration of independence. The main periodicals of each period are reviewed.

The article reviews the most important periodicals publications on archaeological research in Estonia during 1990–2008. The growth in the number of publications has also started to regulate and stabilize archaeological literature in Estonia. The success of these processes lies with the archaeologists working at the Institute of History and Archaeology of the University of Tartu, the Institute of History of the Tallinn University and the National Heritage Board.
