Writing guidelines

Text length

Texts should be between 1,500 and 2,000 words (approximately 10,000 to 13,000 characters, including spaces). A post can be divided into several parts and published as a series if necessary. In this case, each part must have its logic and be able to be read separately.

Contact details of the author(s)

The contact details of the author(s) must include status, specialty, affiliated institution, city, + any link to a personal page.

For example, Umberto Albarella is a Professor of Zooarchaeology, Department of Archaeology, University of Sheffield.

Title of the post and keywords

The title of the post should be understandable, informative, and engaging. It should reflect the nature of the content. Keep the title short, on a single line (ideally ± 60 characters, including spaces).

Illustrations/media

Illustrate your post with photographs, drawings, maps, graphs, videos, sound recordings, etc.
Illustrations should be sent as attachments in .jpeg format (150 dpi). Each illustration file must be named as follows: author’s name_year_FigX_copyright_one keyword.
Unless otherwise stated, illustrations are made available under the terms of the CC-BY-NC4.0 license. They must be free of copyright. If this is not the case, you must have obtained the rights of reproduction and distribution from the copyright holder.
Illustrations must be captioned, and the place to be inserted in the text must be specified. When submitting your contribution, please attach a list of figures with captions and credits (citation of the source for copyright purposes) at the end of the text. Captions should be short (title, author, credits).

Notes and bibliographical references

Footnotes are not accepted.
Bibliographical references should be inserted into the text in abbreviated form (author, year).
The complete references, limited to a maximum of ten, should be at the end of the article.
The bibliography format is that of the Journal of Archaeological Sciences (style available in Zotero Style Repository, with book and journal titles in italics).
Zotero users should create a collection for their article, export it in RDF format, and attach the .rdf file to the email.
