CALL FOR PAPAERS:
We are pleased to announce that the 2009 issue of Utah Archaeology will be an "All-Student" issue. Graduate students and advanced undergraduates are invited to submit papers for consideration. Appropriate submissions might include class papers and summaries of thesis work. In order to be considered for inclusion in the 2009 issue, submissions must be received by June 20, 2009. Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged (utaharch@gmail.com). As always, submissions are to follow the most recent SAA style guide (see instructions for Authors below). Please pass this announcement on to current students or recent graduates.
Instructions to Authors:
Utah Archaeology annually publishes research relevant to the archaeology (both prehistoric and historic) of Utah. Articles must be factual with some archaeological application. We seek submissions from authors affiliated with government agencies, cultural resource management firms, museums, academic institutions, and avocational archaeologists equally.
Authors submitting manuscripts are requested to follow Society for American Archaeology (SAA) style. The most recent version of the SAA Style Guide can be found online at http://www.saa.org/.
Categories of papers are:
(1) Articles – Synthetic manuscripts, reports of analysis, overviews, and reviews of past research.
(2) Reports – Shorter manuscripts including descriptive reports on focused topics and topical pieces written for the non-specialist.
(3) Comments – Pertain to previous publications or topics of general interest. Comments on published works will be submitted to the author of that work for review and reply.
(4) Book Reviews – Reviews of current publications pertaining broadly to archaeology in Utah.
Manuscripts must be typed, double spaced, on one side of 8.5 by 11 inch paper. Type font should be 12 point and page margins 1 inch. Submissions should contain appropriate headings and subheadings and must contain a brief abstract of less than 150 words. Manuscripts should be paginated consecutively beginning with the title page. Manuscripts should be submitted in an electronic format, as Utah Archaeology cannot retype papers and scanning text is often problematic. Authors are encouraged to send files as attachments to an email message to the editors, although manuscripts may also be submitted on a CD. All submissions are strongly encouraged to be in Microsoft Word. All manuscripts are submitted for outside review. Authors are sent reviewers' comments and a letter from the editor as to whether the manuscript is acceptable with revision, acceptable in current form, or rejected with a recommendation for substantial revision. The editors reserve the right to evaluate manuscripts for appropriate subject matter, quality, length, and compliance with the style guide, and are highly likely to reject submissions which do not conform to the requirements above.
Submissions and correspondence should be addressed to:
