The Journal publishes:
Technical and methodological studies that relate to actual archaeological data, are also of general rather than only regional significance, and would be comprehensible to most readers.
Review articles such as updated regional or topical summaries designed to appeal to a fairly wide professional readership.
Occasional essays on the history of archaeology in major geographical areas, or with respect to research topics of general archaeological concern.
Brief preliminary reports describing the results of recent fieldwork or other research.
Detailed directions for manuscript preparation and submission are given in "Guidelines for Contributors," Volume 30 (2005) 225--229. Copies are available on request from the editorial office and are available on-line in html and in pdf versions.
In general, the clarity and quality of both text and illustrative materials are deemed essential. Full-length manuscripts should not exceed approximately 40 double-spaced pages of text, and brief reports no more than about 10. All instructions regarding style and format, however, should be followed closely when preparing submissions.
