About

DeepTime focuses on the methodology and epistemology of ancient history, examining how archaeological evidence is interpreted and how historical narratives are constructed. It addresses the challenges of working with incomplete records and biased sources.

Rather than simply presenting historical facts, DeepTime investigates how those facts were established, what evidence supports them, and where uncertainty remains. It explores how new archaeological techniques and theoretical approaches reshape our understanding of ancient civilizations.

Scholars and advanced students rely on DeepTime for its rigorous examination of historical methodology. Each article provides the analytical tools needed to critically evaluate historical claims and understand the evolving nature of historical knowledge.
