Guidelines for authors


The proceedings of the XV UISPP world Congress will all be published by ArchaeoPress, as a special set with a common general editorial policy, although respecting the editorship of the sessions’ co-ordinators. The overall aim is, considering the Congress offers a “state of the art” for a 5 years period, to be able to publish quite soon after the Congress the whole series of contributions (a very large number of volumes). For this purpose, volumes will be numbered in a logical sequence, and each volume will correspond either to a session or, in case of small sessions (whose contributions are not enough to produce a separate volume), to a group of sessions within one of the main subject areas in the congress. Also, session co-ordinators are invited to try that all contributors offer the written version of their papers or posters until the Congress (this way we can move soon after for the publication), but no later than December 2nd, 2006.

The following guidelines should be followed by contributors and session co-ordinators.

Texts must be submitted as Word files (for PC), double spaced, with a minimum of formatting, with just paragraphs and headings distinguished. The files should have the title of the paper, followed by the author’s name(s) and institutional references, a 100 words abstract in English and French, followed by three to five key-words in English and French.

Notes should be presented in the end of the text, after the bibliography. Quotations should be indicated between brackets, indicating the author’s family name, with a maximum of two authors (otherwise followed by et al.), the year of publication and the relevant pages.

Illustrations should be submitted, whenever possible, as digital files. For preference, scans should be carried out at 600 dpi or higher and should be saved as tiff files. We can also take hard copy illustrations (+ slides and prints), but it will be a help if they are digital. Illustrations can be integrated with the text and therefore the approximate positioning of the illustrations should be indicated.

But, in any case, the text and the illustrations should be presented in separate files. The list of captions should also be submitted in a separate file.

The texts should have no more than 5.000 words (including all items), and the illustrations should not exceed two A4 pages (3 cm of borders). These will be normally printed in black and white, with some exceptions duly justified. The bibliography convention should in principle respect the models bellow, except upon justified request of the session organiser’s (which will have to secure the coherence of any other possible criteria).
