Aims
and Scope
The European Journal of
Archaeology - the international, peer-reviewed journal of the European
Association of Archaeologists - aims to publish the best new archaeological
research undertaken in and around Europe. |
Articles cover a wealth of
topics, ranging from major reviews of the prehistoric and historic archaeology
of Europe and neighbouring regions, to reports on key archaeological discoveries
set within a European context, to cutting-edge research and debates on
science-based archaeology, archaeological method and theory, public archaeology
and the history of archaeology, to interviews reflecting upon the life
and work of significant European archaeologists. All articles are published
with short, accessible abstracts in English, French and German.
Thought-provoking reviews
are also a key feature of the Journal, including: commissioned book reviews
that summarize and assess new publications, evaluations of museum exhibitions
and archaeological films, and critical commentaries accompanying articles
published in the Journal.
Special issues or sections
of the Journal are sometimes also published, comprising collections
of articles relating to topics of broad interest to European archaeologists.
The design and management
of Journal was significantly enhanced in 2011, with a revised format,
higher quality paper and colour illustrations, an energized Editorial Board,
and a timely publication schedule, which now includes rapid online publication
ahead of print issues.
At the same time, the Journal
still adheres to its founding principles. It seeks to promote open debate
amongst archaeologists committed to an idea of Europe in which there is
more communication across national frontiers and more interest in interpretation.
And it publishes not only new data and interpretations, but also encourages
debate about the role archaeology plays in society, how archaeology should
be organized in a changing Europe, and about the ethics of archaeological
practice.

Notes for Authors
Submission of mss: authors
should retain one copy of their manuscript and send three identical copies,
each fully numbered and typed in double spacing throughout, on one side
only of white A4 or US standard size paper, in addition to a word-processed
file on CD or by email attachment, to the general editor, Robin Skeates,
Department of Archaeology, Durham University, South Road, DH1 3LE Durham,
UK, Robin.Skeates@durham.ac.uk,
tel: 0044 0191 334 1156, fax: 0044 0191 334 1101
Covering letter: please
attach to every submission a letter confirming that all authors have agreed
to the submission and that the article is not currently being considered
for publication by any other journal.
Format of mss: Each
manuscript should contain:
(i) title page with full
title and subtitle (if any). For the purposes of blind refereeing, full
name of each author with current affiliation and full address/phone/fax/email
details plus short biographical note should be supplied on a separate sheet.
The address supplied will be used to send proofs -- if you plan to
be away from your usual address during the six months after submitting
your article, please supply alternative contact details.
(ii) abstract of 100-150
words in English, French or German. If French or German is your native
tongue, please provide the abstract in that language, even if the paper
is in English. The abstract comes at the start of the paper and summarizes
the contents. Please also provide an abstract in your native language.
(iii) 5-10 key words.
(iv) main text and word count
-- suggested target is about 8000 words. Text to be clearly organized,
with a clear hierarchy of three levels of headings and subheadings and
quotations above 40 words displayed, indented, in the text.
(v) end notes, if necessary,
should be signalled by superscript numbers in the main text and listed
at the end of the text before the references.
(vi) acknowledgements should
be included as a separate section at the end of the article, before the
notes and references.
(vii) references should follow
the Harvard or scientific convention. Bibliographic references in the text
should contain within parentheses the author's surname or some conventional
shortening of the title of the work if no immediate author or editor is
listed (note that this should correspond to the bibliographic entry in
the references at the end of the paper) and date of publication and page
references, such as (Childe 1954:117) or (Radiocarbon Handbook 1988:iv).
Multiple references by the same author should be separated with a comma,
e.g. (Nadelkopf 1888, 1893) and dates should be separated from pages with
a full colon (e.g. T?te d'épingle 1901:22). Multiple references by different
authors should be listed alphabetically in the text, not chronologically,
and should be separated by semi-colons (e.g. Bright 2005; Fellows 2006;
Soloman 1996). References should be listed alphabetically at the end of
the paper with book or journal titles italicized or underlined, including
place of publication and publisher, issue and page numbers. Examples:
FISHER, G., 1988. Sociopolitical
organization in early Anglo-Saxon England. In M. Littlechick (ed.), England
in the Old Days: 128-144. Oxford: British Archaeological Publications
(British Series 329).
SILVER, M., 1985. Economic
Structure of the Ancient Near East. London/Sydney: Croom Helm.
TROTTER, M. and G.C. GLESER,
1952. Estimation of stature from long bones of American Whites and Negroes.
American
Journal of Physical Anthropology 10:463-514.
WILLIAMS, J., ed., 1997.
Money:
A History. London: British Museum Press.
Illustrations: all
line diagrams and photographs are termed 'Figures' and should be referred
to as such in the manuscript. They should be numbered consecutively. Line
diagrams should be presented in a form suitable for immediate reproduction
(i.e. not requiring redrawing) on a CD as TIFF or EPS files (all fonts
embedded) with a minimum resolution of 600dpi. They should be reproducible
to within a maximum final printed text area of 115 mm x 185 mm. Photographs
should preferably be submitted as TIFF or EPS files or as clear, glossy,
unmounted black and white prints with a good range of contrast. All figures
should have short descriptive captions typed on a separate sheet.
Tables: tables should
be typed (double line-spaced) on separate sheets. All tables should have
short descriptive captions with footnotes and their source(s) typed below
the tables. AUTHORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING PERMISSIONS FROM COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS for reproducing through any medium of communication any illustrations,
tables, figures or lengthy quotations previously published elsewhere.
Style: use a clear
readable style, avoiding jargon. If technical terms or acronyms must be
included, define them when first used. Use non-racist, non-sexist language
and plurals rather than he/she. Capitalize sparingly. Never capitalize
archaeological features, e.g. pit B and not Pit B. Capitalize magnetic
directions only when part of a recognized name, such as South America,
otherwise, e.g. northern England. Capitalize archaeological periods, such
as Neolithic, whether as noun or adjective. Chemical elements should be
spelt out in textual passages, but given in their abbreviated form, e.g.
Au, Pb, in statistical paragraphs, tables and figures. Ratios should be
presented thus: 1:10 or silver:gold.
Dates: give dates
as date, month, year: e.g. 4 July 1776. Use 1960s (not sixties) without
an apostrophe and spell out the number of centuries or millennia: e.g.
fourth century AD or third millennium BC. Invert the order of date and
AD when using specific numbers, e.g. AD 980. There are no commas in thousands
of years old, but there are in tens of thousands of years old: e.g. 4500
BC and 12,000 BP. Uncalibrated radiocarbon years follow the international
convention (mean value ± standard deviation BP, using the 5568-year half-life;
always give the laboratory code number), Calibrated dates should be given
as date ranges cal BC and cal AD, together with the probability level (1
sigma or 2 sigma); specify which calibration curve is being used.
Spellings: UK or US
spellings may be used but always use '-ize' spellings as given in the Oxford
English Dictionary (e.g. organize, recognize).
Punctuation: use single
quotation marks with double quotes inside single quotes. Do not use points
in abbreviations, contractions or acronyms (e.g. AD, USA, Dr, PhD)
Disks: on acceptance
of your manuscript for publication, you will be asked to supply a CD with
the final version of the text, figures and tables.
Copyright: before
publication authors are requested to assign copyright to the European Association
of Archaeologists and Sage Publications, subject to retaining their right
to reuse the material in other publications written or edited by themselves
and due to be published preferably at least one year after initial publication
in the Journal.
Proofs and offprints:
authors will receive proofs of their articles and be asked to send corrections
to the General Editor. After publication authors will be given controlled
access to a pdf of their article and will receive a complimentary copy
of the issue in which it appears.
Books for review and manuscripts
of reviews should be sent to:

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ARCHAEOLOGY
ARTICLE REVIEW -
POLICY AND PRACTICE
1. It is part of general
editorial policy that all articles submitted for publication to the European
Journal of Archaeology go through the peer-review process. This process
acts as a quality control mechanism both for the journal and for the author(s);
we believe it is a vital safeguard for the health of the Journal.
2. There is no question that
the General Editor’s word alone is final on any paper. There is a three-stage
process of collective peer review for all articles:
(a) initial consideration
by the General Editor;
(b) circulation for comments
to all members of the Editorial Board; and
(c) circulation to two more
specialist referees who remain anonymous throughout the process.
3. The General Editor examines
the article for general suitability, balance of contents and obvious points
which require attention. If there are no major problems, the General Editor
passes the article on to the second and third stages. If there are questions
which the author(s) need(s) to address immediately, the article is returned
with comments, with a suggestion that a second draft is produced for peer
review. If the article is, for any reason, in danger of immediate rejection,
the article is passed onto the second stage only for confirmation of such
a course of action by the Editorial Board.
4. Members of the Editorial
Board are sent relevant articles by email and are invited to send in e-mail
comments, within two weeks of receipt. If the Board member is a specialist
in the subject matter of the paper, detailed comments are invited; if not,
only general comments are requested. These comments are assembled and used
by the General Editor to form an overall response to the paper.
5. Following comments from
the Editorial Board, the article is distributed to two specialist peer-reviewers,
usually one from each of the period(s) / regions(s) / theme(s) in question.
Referees are asked to provide comments on a standard form within three
weeks of receipt. Insofar as the specialists have deeper and more detailed
knowledge than most members of the Editorial Board for the paper in question,
their comments are treated with greater weight than other comments. These
comments are used, in conjunction with Editorial Board comments, to provide
the General Editor with a definitive picture of the quality of the article.
6. On the basis of his/her
initial response and all other comments, the General Editor communicates
to the author the collective decision on whether to publish as it stands
/ to publish if significant changes can be implemented / to reject the
paper.
