The frequency analysis of the archaeological subjects discussed in the journal reveals that there has been a fairly constant number of articles on theoretical and methodological problems, which is one of the main goals of Archeologia e Calcolatori. The same can be said for the two sectors of Cultural Resource Management and data dissemination and education. Other subjects which display a higher proportion of contributions throughout the years mainly involve research work conducted in the field (survey and excavations) - one of the most prevalent areas of application - or in the laboratory (classification of archaeological finds).

In the graphs presented below, there are several recurrent peaks for most of the subjects in conference proceedings and thematic issues. In particular, it is worth noting the peak of articles concerning data dissemination and education in 1993, due to the publication of the proceedings of the International Conference on Data and Image Processing in Classical Archaeology. Contributions discussing applications to specific sectors, such as archaeometry, epigraphy and numismatics and conservation and restoration are more frequent in the 1990's and less so in the following decade. On the other hand, articles dealing with geoarchaeology were more popular in the late 1990's and the following decade, as a reflection of technical developments in data acquisition tools.

In summary, the correlation between applications and research areas shows as a result that there have been a fairly constant number of articles discussing computer graphics, statistics and databases in a large number of subject areas. On the contrary, other computer applications display a high proportion in specific archaeological subjects. For example, GIS and cartography and Remote Sensing applications are strictly related to the area of survey and excavations, whilst the application of multimedia and web tools focuses mostly on data dissemination and education.
