Zakres tematyczny „Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Archaeologica” obejmuje zagadnienia z dyscypliny archeologii i archeologii historycznej. Celem czasopisma jest publikowanie wyników badań archeologicznych prowadzonych przede wszystkim na terenie Europy Środkowej. FA publikuje teksty oparte na zarówno na źródłach kultury materialnej jak i na przekazach pisanych, powstających od początków kultury do dnia dzisiejszego. W kręgu zainteresowań mieszczą się także rozważania teoretyczne na temat metod badawczych i metodologii. Na arenie nie tylko krajowej, ale również europejskiej czy światowej wyróżnia nas przede wszystkim fakt częstego zamieszczania na naszych łamach prac dotyczących badań stanowisk z czasów nowożytnych np. okresu I i II wojny światowej, a także miejsc związanych z ludobójstwem totalitaryzmów faszystowskiego i komunistycznego. Zważywszy na zakres tematyczny i grono wybitnych badaczy, nie tylko archeologów, ale i przedstawicieli innych dyscyplin naukowych (historyków, antropologów, geografów itp.) zajmujemy wyjątkową pozycję, nie tylko wśród polskich czasopism naukowych, wytyczając standardy publikacyjne dla nowych zakresów tematycznych badań archeologicznych.
