Editorial

The sixtieth volume of *Acta Archaeologica Carpathica!*

Yes, we are pleased to note that so many volumes of our journal have already entered scholarly circulation. In subsequent volumes, the articles have traditionally been arranged chronologically, from the oldest to the newest periods. We do not wish to change this tradition, but the current volume will begin with an essay on theory in archaeology (Tobias L. Kienlin, *Social life and the material world: a reappraisal of practice theory in Archaeology* - this volume), which has a universal appeal and will undoubtedly be of interest to researchers of all eras. Fortunately, it is being published just after the publication of an important collective work on archaeological theory and methodology (Leksykon terminów archeologicznych, A. Marciniak, A. I. Zalewska, D. Cyngot, S. Iwanszewski, H. Kowalewska-Marszałek, F. M. Stępniowski, eds., Poznań, Warszawa, Łódź). By publishing in a Polish journal, this essay corresponds to the latest Polish thinking in this field.

However, this volume is not without achievements in the field of mountain archaeology, which are consistent with the magazine's profile. The Bronze Age is particularly prominent, and not only because of the phenomenon of the "Holy Mountain of Oblik," which was first so widely revealed in the pages of *Acta Archaeologica Carpathica*, a fact we note with pleasure.

In the following chapters, we will visit various places in the Western Carpathians, including the Tatra Mountains and the Bieszczady Mountains, but also the Sudetes and even the Peruvian Andes.
