Arheoloski Vestnik publishes original scientific and professional contributions on archaeological discoveries in the Alpine region of South-Eastern Europe, the Northern Adriatic and the Western Balkans, with special emphasis on the territories of Slovenia and its neighbours. It also welcomes discussion of new theoretical aspects, concepts, methodological approaches and critical assessments, while also accepting contributions from other scientific fields.

The journal accepts articles submitted in Slovenian and other languages and requires abstracts or full translations in Slovenian and English. The journal includes a large number of drawings, plans, tables and maps of high technical standards. These fields complement knowledge of the history of these regions through interdisciplinary projects (e.g., ancient/Greek and Roman history, inscriptions, numismatics, physical anthropology, archaeozoology, archaeobotany, archaeoastronomy, paleoenvironment, etc.)
