Editorial Policy and Statement of Purpose

The American Journal of Archaeology (AJA), the journal of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA), is one of the oldest and most widely circulated journals of archaeology in the world. Founded in 1885 as The American Journal of Archaeology and of the History of the Fine Arts, it began its second series in 1897.

The Governing Board of the AIA, on 1 May 2021, approved the following expanded statement of purpose1 for the AJA, with an expansion of the temporal scope approved on 7 May 2022:

The AJA publishes original research on the diverse peoples and material cultures of the Mediterranean and related areas, including North Africa (with Egypt and Sudan), Western Asia (with the Caucasus), and Europe, from prehistory through late antiquity and beyond.

Manuscripts that address the history of the discipline, archaeological methodologies, theoretical approaches, pedagogy, and the politics and ethics of archaeological heritage are welcome. The AJA encourages submissions that are broadly relevant to scholars of the ancient Mediterranean, including those that explore the intersections of Mediterranean cultures with other regions and periods, the reception of these cultures in later times, and their ongoing significance in the present.

In accordance with the AIA’s Statement on Archaeology and Social Justice, the AJA is committed to advancing equity and inclusion in archaeological publication. The journal seeks to publish diverse viewpoints, especially from members of historically underrepresented groups, to acknowledge and examine the appropriation of Mediterranean archaeology by racist, nationalist, and colonialist ideologies, and to address critically the biases that have shaped the discipline.

The AJA affirms the critical importance of archaeological context and the responsibility to provide documentation of provenance in archaeological publication. Submissions should follow the AJA’s policies regarding the citation of excavated objects and objects in public and private collections.

The AJA Editors-in-Chief welcome the submission of manuscripts on any subject within that definition. Submissions that announce discoveries, present new information, or break new theoretical ground are especially welcome, as are articles that deal with methodological issues, offer theoretical frameworks for interpretation of archaeological data, or explore the symbiosis between field methodology and the analysis of material culture. In addition to articles, the AJA publishes field reports and newsletters on the archaeology of various regions, comprehensive reviews of the state of the discipline,2 forums,3 archaeological notes,4 necrologies, museum exhibition reviews, book reviews, and review articles (see the editorial statements of the Book Review Editor and Museum Review Editor in AJA 121 [2017] 3–4 and in AJA 122 [2018] 3–4; see also Guidelines for Book Reviewers and Guidelines for Museum Reviewers). Awards presented at each annual meeting of the AIA are no longer published in the April issue, effective 2016. They are available on the AIA website. Pre-2016 published AIA awards are available on AJA Open Access.

All submissions should follow the AJA Policy on the Publication and Citation of Unprovenanced Antiquities.

Submissions considered for publication in the AJA are reviewed by appropriate experts without exception. While AJA Editorial Advisory Board members often serve as reviewers, manuscripts are also screened by outside experts. Most submissions are read by three scholars in addition to the Editors-in-Chief.

  • 1. The statement was drafted by several members of the AJA’s Advisory Board, the academic editors of the AJA, and First Vice President of the AIA Elizabeth S. Greene. Before its submission to the Governing Board, the draft was reviewed by the whole of the AJA’s Advisory Board, AIA President Laetitia La Follette, and AIA Vice President for Research and Academic Affairs Thomas Tartaron. (See the editorial letter from Jane B. Carter in AJA 125.3 [2021].)
  • 2. State of the Discipline: a retrospective and prospective article assessing the history, current trends, and future avenues of research in archaeology.
  • 3. Forum: articles on a specific topic or problem, including but not limited to issues of methodology or theoretical approaches in archaeology, current trends and future avenues of research, and controversies or current debates in the field; published in the printed journal and open access on AJA Online, where readers can post comments and continue the conversation.
  • 4. Archaeological Note: short notes (no more than 5,000 words) that respond in a formal way to topics discussed in Forum pieces or to interpretations put forth in articles; they may also announce new finds or new discoveries or take the form of a Letter to the Editor.

AJA Policy on the Publication and Citation of Undocumented Antiquities

On 4 January 2020, the Archaeological Institute of America revised its policy on the presentation and publication of undocumented antiquities (www.archaeological.org/about/governance/policies: “AIA Policy on the Presentation and Publication of Undocumented Antiquities”). The following explains, first, the details of the AIA policy and, second, the policy of the AJA regarding the citation of objects in private and public collections.

AIA Policy on the Presentation and Publication of Undocumented Antiquities

The AIA policy states:

“The publication and presentation venues of the Archaeological Institute of America will not serve for the initial scholarly publication or announcement of any object in a private or public collection acquired after December 30, 1973, unless its existence is documented before that date, or it was legally exported from the country of origin. An exception may be made if, in the view of the Editor or Program Committee, the aim of publication is to emphasize the loss of archaeological context or acquisition history.”

According to this policy, an object in a private or public collection may appear in a publication or presentation venue of the AIA if (a) the object was acquired by the collection before 30 December 1973, or (b) the existence of the object is documented before that date, or (c) the object was legally exported from the country of origin, or (d) the object has previously received appropriate initial scholarly publication or announcement, or (e) it was legally excavated. The revised policy of the AIA defines the kind of vehicle or venue in which an appropriate initial scholarly publication or announcement must appear and specifies what information the initial publication or announcement must include.

According to the revised AIA policy, the vehicle or venue of the initial scholarly publication or announcement of an object in a private or public collection must be one of the following:

  • A peer-reviewed or similarly vetted publication in a scholarly book or journal, either in print or online.
  • The permanent and accessible record (e.g., published abstract or conference proceeding) of a peer-reviewed or similarly vetted presentation (either a paper delivered orally or a poster) at a meeting of a learned society.
  • A peer-reviewed or similarly vetted publication in a scholarly catalogue, either in print or online. “Scholarly catalogue” in this context refers to a catalogue of accessioned objects produced by an academically affiliated or educationally oriented organization (e.g., a museum catalogue) and not to a catalogue produced by a for-profit and/or commercial organization (e.g., an auction house catalogue).

The initial scholarly publication or announcement of an object in a private or public collection must include (1) an illustration (e.g., a photograph, a drawing, or a similar graphic), (2) commentary specific to the object (such as its dimensions and a description that includes, as applicable, material(s), details of ware, decoration, production technology, etc.). Initial scholarly publication or announcement of epigraphic material should also include (3) a transcription, and (4) if appropriate, a translation.

An object in a private or public collection that was acquired after 30 December 1973, that is not documented before that date, or that was not legally exported from the country of origin is considered unprovenanced. Such an unprovenanced object, if it has received prior initial scholarly publication or announcement, may be mentioned in a publication or presentation venue of the AIA. However, each mention of such an unprovenanced object must include the designation “[unprov.],” and the first mention of an unprovenanced object must be accompanied by a reference to the initial scholarly publication or announcement and by the following statement: “This object was acquired after 30 December 1973; there is no evidence of its documentation before that date or its legal export from the country of origin.”

Citation in the AJA of Objects in Private and Public Collections

An object in a private or public collection may be mentioned, cited, discussed, and illustrated in the AJA if (a) it was acquired by the collection before 30 December 1973, (b) its existence is documented before 30 December 1973, (c) it was legally exported from the country of origin, (d) it has previously received appropriate initial scholarly publication or announcement, or (e) it was legally excavated.

An object may not be mentioned, cited, discussed, or illustrated in the AJA if it was acquired by a private or public collection after 30 December 1973 and its existence is not documented before that date, or it was not legally exported from the country of origin, or it has not previously received appropriate initial scholarly publication or announcement. An exception may be made if, in the view of the AJA’s Editor-in-Chief, the aim of publication is to emphasize the loss of archaeological context or acquisition history.

How to cite an object in a private or public collection

A chart summarizing if and how an object in a public or private collection may appear in the AJA is reproduced below and may be separately downloaded here.

CHART: If and how an object in a public or private collection may appear in the AJA

The citation of any object in a private or public collection must include the basic identification of the object and additional information as required by the documentation of the object.

The basic identification consists of the city in which the collection is located, the name of the institution or collection, the accession or inventory number, and the year in which the object was acquired by the collection. (The acquisition date should be stated separately even when a museum accession number includes the year in which an object was acquired.) If the year in which the object was acquired is unknown or not available, the citation should include “acq. date n/a.”

The following abbreviations appear at the end of the table of contents of each print issue and can be used when giving information about the object:

  • acq. = acquired
  • acq. date = acquisition date
  • excav. = excavated
  • n/a = not available
  • [unprov.] = acquired after 30 December 1973 and not documented before that date
  • qual. pub. = initial scholarly publication, meeting requirements as defined above by the AIA and the AJA
  • doc. = documentation of the object’s existence before 30 December 1973

The following examples illustrate the types of citation needed depending on the date of acquisition, prior documentation, evidence of legal exportation, and previous initial scholarly publication or announcement.

  • The object was acquired before 30 December 1973. The first mention of the object should be accompanied by a footnote with the basic identification of the object.

Footnote: City, Museum of Ancient Art 1965-632, acq. 1965.

  • The object was acquired after 30 December 1973, but its existence is documented before that date. The first mention of the object should be accompanied by a footnote with the basic identification and the citation of the documentation of the object’s existence before 30 December 1973. The citation of the documentation should follow the standard AJA format for references (see www.ajaonline.org/submissions/references). If the documentation meets the standards listed above for initial scholarly publication, use “qual. pub.” before the citation; for all others, use “doc.”

Footnote: City, Museum of Ancient Art 1984-632, acq. 1984; qual. pub. Smith 1955.

Works cited: Smith, J. 1955. “An Object in a Private Collection of Antiquities.” Journal of Ancient Art 26:19–31.

  • The acquisition date of an object in a private or public collection is not available, but the existence of the object is documented before 30 December 1973. The first mention of the object should be accompanied by a footnote with the basic identification and the citation of the documentation of the object’s existence before 30 December 1973. If the documentation meets the standards listed above for initial scholarly publication, use “qual. pub.” before the citation; for all others, use “doc.”

Footnote: City, Museum of Ancient Art GR-632, acq. date n/a; qual. pub. Smith 1955.

Works cited: Smith, J. 1955. “An Object in a Private Collection of Antiquities.” Journal of Ancient Art 26:19–31.

  • The object was acquired after 30 December 1973, but the object was legally exported from the country of origin. The first mention of the object should be accompanied by a footnote with the basic identification and the citation of the evidence for the object’s legal exportation.

Footnote: City, Museum of Ancient Art GR-632, acq. 1985; legally exported from Greece on 15 February 1985 (Permit for Export of an Antiquity #84723).

  • The object was acquired after 30 December 1973 (or the acquisition date is not available), and there is no documentation of the object before that date or evidence that the object was legally exported from the country of origin. However, the object has received initial scholarly publication or announcement (as defined by the AIA) after 30 December 1973. In this case, the object is considered unprovenanced. The first mention of the object should be accompanied by a footnote with the basic identification followed by the designation “[unprov.],” the statement of no provenance (“This object was acquired after 30 December 1973; there is no evidence of its documentation before that date or its legal export from the country of origin"), and the citation of the initial scholarly publication or announcement of the object. If the object also appears in the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) Registry of New Acquisitions of Archaeological Material and Works of Ancient Art, the reference should include a link to the relevant entry. In subsequent discussions of the object in the text or notes, the object should consistently be accompanied by the designation “[unprov.].”

Footnote: City, Museum of Ancient Art GR-632, acq. 1985 [unprov.]. This object was acquired after 30 December 1973; there is no evidence of its documentation before that date or its legal export from the country of origin. Qual. pub. Smith 1988. https://aamd.org/object-registry/new-acquisitions-of-archaeological-mate....

Or: City, Museum of Ancient Art GR-632, acq. date n/a [unprov.]. This object may have been acquired after 30 December 1973; there is no evidence of its documentation before that date or its legal export from the country of origin. Qual. pub. Smith 1988. https://aamd.org/object-registry/new-acquisitions-of-archaeological-mate....

Works cited: Smith, J. 1988. “An Object in the Museum of Ancient Art.” Journal of Ancient Art 59:19–31.

Some objects will not correspond to any of the examples above. For instance, objects scientifically and legally excavated may as a matter of course become the property of a museum in the country of origin. Such legally excavated objects that are acquired after 30 December 1973 by a museum in the country of origin do, of course, have a provenance and may be mentioned, cited, discussed, and illustrated in the AJA. The first mention of such an object should be accompanied by a footnote with the basic identification and the documentation of its excavation.

Footnote: City, Archaeological Museum of Ancient Art 2012-632, acq. 2012; excav. 2011, Project or Excavating Authority Name, Site Name (if unclear from project/authority name); qual. pub. Smith 2015, 498.

Works cited: Smith, J. 2015. “Excavations at Site Name.” Journal of Archaeology 119:482–512.

Some legally excavated objects remain in the storage facilities or collections of the project or excavating authority; these objects have a provenance and may be mentioned, cited, discussed, and illustrated in the AJA. The first mention of such an object should be accompanied by a footnote with the basic identification and the documentation of its excavation.

Footnote: Ancient City Archaeological Project 2011.108, excav. 2011, qual. pub. Smith 2015, 498.

Works cited: Smith, J. 2015. “Excavations at Site Name.” Journal of Archaeology 119:482–512.

For objects not covered by the examples above, authors should consult with the editorial staff of the AJA.

Once the revised manuscript has been submitted, no major changes to the text are allowed.

Authors should refer to the Revised Manuscript Submission Checklist. An author warranty and a copyright permissions form template can also be found under Supporting Material.

Proofs

Once a manuscript has been accepted for publication, it will be copyedited, typeset, and proofread. The AJA will communicate with the author during the copyediting stage; page proofs will then be emailed to the author with instructions for making any final corrections. While authors may clarify or modify page proofs in minor ways, no major revisions are permitted. Corrected proofs should be returned within one week of receipt.

Reprints

One complimentary PDF reprint of the published (non open access) article is given to the primary author. Authors of published open access content can download a PDF copy directly from the digital edition of the journal.

Article Format

Title and Abstract

The title of the article should be centered at the top of the title page, with the abstract below. The abstract should be no longer than 200 words and should outline the problems discussed, methodology, and conclusions.

Paragraphs and Headings

Paragraphs should be left-aligned and unindented. Use a double return after each paragraph. All headings should be typed on a separate line, not run in with the text. There should be no additional spacing before or after lines. Headings should be labeled <A>, <B>, or <C>. C-level subheads should be avoided whenever possible.

Notes and Acknowledgements

The AJA does not use in-text citations, except for references to primary ancient sources. Notes should be formatted as endnotes, numbered in one series, and double-spaced. A note should not exceed 200 words. See also Bibliographic References and Footnotes. Acknowledgments should not be included in an initial submission, as this may compromise anonymity. In a revised submission, any acknowledgments should appear in the first footnote, with the note reference placed at the end of the abstract.

Greek Characters

Authors should set Greek text in New Athena Unicode, a public-domain Greek font available at https://classicalstudies.org/publications-and-research/nau-download.

Authors might find GreekKeys helpful; it is a custom polytonic Greek keyboard program that provides easy access to specialized characters (e.g., for metrics, epigraphy, and papyrology) that are absent from most system fonts. GreekKeys 2015 is free to members of the Society for Classical Studies.

Figures

References to figures in the text must appear in consecutive order (fig. 1 is cited before fig. 2, which is cited before fig. 3, etc.; fig. 2a is cited before fig. 2b, etc.), and no figure references should appear only in the notes. Figures are placed during composition as soon as possible after their first text reference.  A list of figures with captions, keys, and credits should be provided at the end of the manuscript text. Captions should be set as suggested below, with credits placed in parentheses and ending with a period (see also Image Gallery figures):

  • Fig. 1. Detail of the northwest corner of the Sanctuary of Apollo.
  • Fig. 2. Trench 1, section a, northern elevation with strata indicated, from the south. The foundation trench is represented by deposits 4–8 and 17 (drawing by S. Schmidt).
  • Fig. 3. Corridor Z, layout of the decoration (Paley and Sobolewski 1987, pl. 4; courtesy R. Sobolewski).
  • Fig. 4. Vedder painting concentric circles on the skyphos. Note the tilt of the pivot in the direction of motion (R. Schreiber).

List of Works Cited

Sources cited in the text must appear at the end of the manuscript with full bibliographic information according to AJA guidelines. Entries should be left-aligned and unindented. Use a double return after each entry.

Editorial Style

Spelling and Capitalization

The American style of spelling should be used. When there are alternative ways of spelling a word, the first choice in Webster’s Third New International Dictionary (Springfield, Mass. 1986) is preferred. Authors should be consistent in their use of capitalization. Overcapitalization should be avoided; many words that are commonly capitalized may be lowercased (see in general Chicago Manual of Style [16th ed.] 8.59–60).

Most period designations are lowercased:

late antiquity
ancient Greece
imperial Rome

Cultural periods recognized by archaeologists based on characteristic technology or typology are capitalized:

Bronze Age
Archaic period
Late Antique period

The terms “classical” and “archaic” are capitalized only when used with “period” (e.g., Classical period) or with a specific division of a cultural period (e.g., Late Classical literature) or when the meaning can be misconstrued:

Late Archaic art
Early Classical polis
classical vase painting
archaic Greek pottery

The names of specific buildings, monuments, parts of sites, and artifact collections/groups are capitalized. The generic form is lowercased:

the East Gymnasium; the gymnasium
the Athenian Agora; the agora
Roman Forum; the forum
Treasury of Athens; Athenian treasury
Wall P
Tomb 4
Room 5
Group D

General excavation nomenclature is lowercased:

stratum 3
level 2
trench A

Foreign Terms and Phrases

Isolated words in a foreign language that are likely to be unfamiliar to readers should be italicized throughout the text. Familiar words and phrases in a foreign language should be set in roman type unless there is a risk of confusion with an identically spelled English word:

in situ
terminus post quem
raison d’être
limes

Numbers

Roman numerals should be avoided. Cardinal and ordinal numbers less than 10 should be spelled in full. Arabic numerals should be used for all numbers 10 and above. If a number occurs in a phrase in which most of the numbers are above nine, use Arabic numerals for all:

first century
nine sherds
10th century
11 coins, 15 lamps, and 3 statuettes

Use Arabic numerals when referring to parts of text (use abbreviated version when the references appear in parentheses):

chapter 2 (ch. 2)
table 4
appendix 3 (appx. 3)
figure 9 (fig. 9)

Measurements

The metric system is preferred. All measurements should be expressed with Arabic numerals and abbreviated units unless they appear at the beginning of a sentence:

The base of the vase measures 10 cm in diameter.
Twenty-five rim sherds were found in the trench.

If multiple measurements and dimensions are cited, they should be brought to the same decimal point, using the following format:

1.5 x 1.9 m
0.3–0.5 cm in height

Measurements and dimensions in tables do not have to be brought to the same decimal point.

Chronological References

The AJA uses BCE (“before the common era”) and CE (“common era”) for historical dates (as of January 2020).

All historical dates should be written in their entirety, except in cases of conventional epigraphic usage:

211–202 BCE
117–138 CE
208/9 CE; 293/2 BCE

References to decades should be identified by their century and expressed in numerals. No apostrophe is needed between the year and the “s”:

240s

Dates should be cited as day/month/year, without punctuation:

15 January 1996

The AJA uses BP (“Before Present”) for radiometric dates. BP should be used only in reporting dates for which “present” refers to the year 1950.

Radiometric dates (except radiocarbon dates) should be expressed using the abbreviation “ka” and “Ma” for thousands and millions of years before present, respectively (e.g., 2.4 ka BP). Dates less than 1,000 years should be written in full (e.g., 900 years BP).

Uncalibrated (“raw”) radiocarbon ages should follow the format:  <14C year> ± <range> BP. Authors should provide the laboratory and sample number, if available, as indicated in parentheses in the example below.

The wood charcoal sample was dated to 8490 ±60 BP (UtC-2020).

Calibrated dates must be identified as such and follow the format: cal <date range> <confidence>.

The wood charcoal sample dated to cal BCE 7602–7384 (1σ).

Abbreviations

Units of measurement should be abbreviated in the text (m, cm, ht.). Common abbreviations (fig., pl., e.g., i.e.) should be used in notes and parenthetical references within the text but otherwise written in full:

Horizontal bands below the rim on the interior of bowls and lids (e.g., fig. 15) are common.
or
As can be seen in figure 15, for example, horizontal bands below the rim on the interior of bowls and lids are common.
or
1 See, e.g., fig. 15 for horizontal bands below the rim on the interior of bowls and lids.

Transliteration

In the transliteration of Greek, most Latinate forms of Greek words or proper names that have come into general use are acceptable. Authors are at liberty to use any system of transliteration that is intelligible and reasonably consistent. Authors may follow the system recommended in Archaeological Reports. Systems for the transliteration of other languages are found in Manual of Foreign Languages, 4th ed. (G.F. von Ostermann [New York 1952]).

References to Classical Literature

Latin titles are preferred and should conform to the list of abbreviations given in The Oxford Classical Dictionary, 3rd rev. ed. (S. Hornblower and A. Spawforth, eds. [Oxford 2003]; hereafter OCD3). Any author/work not abbreviated in OCD3 should be spelled in full. Authors’ names and titles should be written in full when appearing in the text and abbreviated when appearing in notes or parenthetical references within the text. Capitalization of works should follow that in OCD 3, and book, chapter, paragraph, and/or line numbers should be separated by periods:

As noted by Vitruvius (De arch. 2.3.3)
Vitruvius notes in De architectura (2.3.3)
1 Vitr., De arch. 2.3.3

Inscriptions

Inscriptions should be marked according to the Leiden system, as outlined in The Study of Greek Inscriptions, 2nd ed. (A.G. Woodhead [Cambridge 1981] 6–11) and Conventions in Editing: A Suggested Reformulation of the Leiden System (S. Dow [Durham 1969]). Inscriptions quoted within the text should be written with a division of lines corresponding to those on the stone, with every fifth line numbered:

Inscriptions of 50 words or fewer, and inscriptions appearing in notes, may be written continuously, with a single upright line (|) used to mark the beginning of each line and a double upright line (‖) used to indicate the beginning of every fifth line. If a line break occurs within a word, there should be no space before or after the vertical line:

Inscriptions in corpora should be cited using Arabic numbers and should not include page references (see Bibliographical References and Notes).

Bibliographical References and Notes

Manuscripts end with a list of all works cited, in alphabetical order by last name of first author. The exceptions are Standard Reference Works. Sample citations are provided below. See also Chicago Manual of Style (16th ed.) 15.5–19.

Notes may consist of discussion only, discussion and bibliographical citation, or bibliographical citation only. Bibliographical citations in notes should appear in chronological order and be drawn from the list of works cited. These citations should consist of the author’s last name, the year of publication, and relevant inclusive pages, sections, figures, plates, etc. Each note should not exceed 200 words. No in-text citations should be used, except for references to primary ancient sources.

Bibliographic references to electronic sources should follow the format for printed sources as closely as possible, with sufficient information provided to allow readers to locate original documents or sources of information. If printed versions of electronic sources exist, references should be made to the most recent and complete version.

Notes with Bibliographical Citations Only

Notes containing no supplementary information should be formatted as follows:

Notes with Discussion and Bibliographical Citations

Notes containing secondary discussion in addition to source documentation should be formatted in the author-date style as follows:

1 Hallager (1996, 235) notes that the four “classic” nodule types had not yet appeared in MM II–III.
2 The inscription has been dated by Robert (1966, 108–18; cf. Roueché 1993, 163) to the first century CE on the basis of the script.
3 Smith (2006, 25) follows the same line of reasoning as Hall 2001, 56.

Supra and Infra References

When it is necessary to have cross-referenced notes, use “supra” and “infra” (without italics) instead of “above” and “below”:

31 Although no paintings have been reported in Room X (supra n. 22), remains of wall paintings were found on the floor of neighboring Room S (Miller 1996, 54).

The following should not be used: ad loc., ibid, idem, inter alia, loc. cit., op. cit., passim.

AJA Abbreviations

See the list of AJA abbreviations of titles of standard reference works, journals, and book series. Abbreviations of ancient authors and works should follow those listed in OCD3 xxix–liv.

Standard Reference Works

An abbreviated format is used to cite selected standard reference works. These works should be referenced in the notes following the formatting examples below and may be omitted from the list of works cited:

ABV, 255, no. 4 (for J.D. Beazley, Attic Black-Figure Vase-Painters [Oxford 1956], p. 255, item 4)
CIL 1(2) 327  (for Corpus inscriptionum latinarum, vol. 1, pt. 2, inscription no. 327)
IG 22 65, line 23 (for Inscriptiones graecae, vol. 2, second edition, inscription no. 65, line 23)
RE 11:1229, s.v. “Timandra 1” (for A. Pauly and G. Wissowa, Real-Encyclopädie der klassischen Altertumswissenschaft [1893–1978], vol. 11, p. 1229, under the word “Timandra 1”)

Journal and Series Titles

Journal or series titles that appear in the AJA Abbreviations should be written in abbreviated form in the list of works cited:

Piérart, M. 2006. “Travaux de l’École française d’Athénes en 2005: Argos. L’agora.” BCH 130:708–13. (BCH = Bulletin de correspondance hellénique)
Buitron-Oliver, D. 1996. The Sanctuary of Apollo Hylates at Kourion: Excavations in the Archaic Precinct. SIMA 109. Jonsered: Paul Åströms Förlag. (SIMA = Studies in Mediterranean Archaeology)

The corresponding bibliographic citation(s) in the notes should follow the AJA’s standard format. 

Page Numbers

Do not use abbreviations such as f. or ff. for “following page(s)”; inclusive page references, separated by an en-dash, must be cited thus:

  7–14 100–4 523–29
  46–48 112–14 1004–7
  89–112 201–16 1396–430

Figure Preparation

Figures published in the AJA must adhere to the formatting guidelines outlined below. Authors should also refer to recent print-published figures for presentation style. The AJA retains the right to resize and edit figures, including retyping labels to match house style. Whenever possible, please submit files with open layers.

Images for the print and digital versions are handled differently. In the digital edition of the journal, authors may have as many color photos as they like. For the print edition, authors will be asked to identify a maximum of three figures that must be in color; the rest will be converted to black and white by the AJA production team. In the event that color is essential for more than three figures, authors are welcome to discuss subvention options with the AJA team. 

In the interest of accessibility and legibility, all maps, graphs, and charts should be grayscale. In bar graphs, for example, shades of gray and varied patterns should be used, rather than colors. Maps should not use satellite imagery as a base layer. 

A maximum of one figure per three to four pages of MS Word text should be submitted; any additional figures should be submitted as Supplementary Content, to be placed in an accompanying online-only Image Gallery.

Figures should be named using author last name and figure number. Any multipanel figures (i.e., figures with parts labeled a, b, c, d, etc.) should, if possible, be submitted as individual files at the preferred size and correct resolution with a supporting low-resolution file showing preferred print layout.

The AJA accepts figures in the following file formats: .tif, .psd, ai., eps. JPG files are not recommended for print-published content. Figures submitted in MS Word, Excel, or PowerPoint will not be accepted.

Figure Size

Refer to the print-published page dimensions below when sizing figures. Crop around the figure element so that unnecessary white space is removed.

  in. cm
1-column width 3 7.6
Page width 6.4 16.3
Page length 7.5 19.1

Figure Type

Raster Figures

These image file types are resolution dependent and so must meet the minimum resolution requirements and should be submitted as .tif or .psd files.

Monochrome (Line Art): A graph or chart made of solid black and white, with no gray values. Resolution = 1,200 dpi.

Halftone: A color or grayscale photograph with no text or lines. Resolution = 300 dpi.

Combination Halftone: A color or grayscale figure containing halftone and line art elements. Resolution = 600 dpi.

Vector Figures

These image file types are typically generated using drawing or illustration programs (e.g., Adobe Illustrator [.ai]). They are resolution independent and so can be sized up or down without quality loss.

Line Art: An example includes a graph or chart created in an illustration program. The figure should be saved as an .eps file with all fonts embedded. If using Illustrator, check the “Embed Fonts” box when saving the file.

Combination Line/Halftone: An example includes a color or grayscale figure containing halftone and line art elements. The halftone elements should be processed in Photoshop and the line elements in Illustrator; the two elements from the two applications should then be combined in Adobe Illustrator and saved as an .eps file with all fonts embedded.

EPS Figures

The AJA also accepts Encapsulated PostScript files (.eps) as an alternative to vector files.

Text and Labels

All text and labels embedded in a figure should be 8–10 point type size in Myriad Pro when the image is sized to the dimensions it will have on the page. On maps, include a north arrow and a scale in km/m, and a key if appropriate; on figures showing artifacts, provide a scale if possible if there is no mention of size in the caption. Graphs must have all axes and lines labeled.

Authors should aim to keep all text and labels (e.g., axis labels, scale text, inset text, etc.) approximately the same size and should avoid boldface font. Text and labels that cross a dark or textured area should be placed on a white background or highlighted using a stroke style. It is helpful if text and labels are placed on open style layers that can be modified by the AJA.

General titles of figures should appear in the figure caption, not in the figure itself.

Crediting Sources and Securing Permissions

If figures are copied from another publication, ­acknowledgments must be made in the caption. Authors are responsible for obtaining any necessary permissions to ­reproduce copyrighted material (see copyright permissions form template). The following conventional designations should be noted:

“after” = possible redrafting but no change in information
“modified from” = some change
“adapted from” = radical changes
If no change is made to the figure, authors should reference only the source.
If the author holds rights to the figure, no credit is necessary.

Table Preparation

Tables published in the AJA must adhere to the formatting guidelines outlined below. Authors should also refer to recent print-published tables for presentation style. The AJA reserves the right to ask for revisions to tables to accord with these guidelines.

The AJA accepts tables submitted in MS Word only. Tables should provide new information, not duplicate text, and should be cited in numerical order in the text.

Tables should be presented on a maximum of one published page, which equates to 35 one-line rows and approximately five short (15–20 characters) columns in MS Word (fewer rows if there are several table footnotes). Longer or complex tables should be submitted as Supplementary Content.

Table Format

Tables should be prepared using the MS Word table tool (i.e., rows and columns should not be approximated with tabs and spaces). A roman font should be used; italic and bold should not be used for emphasis. All sections of tables should be double-spaced. Cells should not break across multiple rows or columns (except in the cases of multi-level headings or cut-in heads; see below for details). 

No cells should be left blank; a dash is used to indicate no data or information is available.

Table Titles

Titles should identify the table as briefly as possible. Titles should not contain explanatory material; this should be placed in a “Note” at the bottom of the table.

Column Headings

Headings should be as brief as possible and should include any necessary symbols (%, $, etc.) or measurement abbreviations (m, cm, kg, etc.) that apply to the data in the column below. Any measurement abbreviations should conform to AJA style. Headings may have several levels, with horizontal rules separating the levels (see example A).

Lines

AJA tables use horizontal lines only. All tables should have the following three horizontal lines:

  1. One under the title, above the column headings.
  2. One between the column headings and the body of the table.
  3. One at the bottom of the table.

In addition, tables MAY have the following horizontal lines, as needed:

  1. To separate levels when there is more than one level of column heading.
  2. To separate a column of numbers that is being added from its total (see example B).
  3. To delineate “cut-in” heads in the body of a table (see “cut-in heads” below).

Stub Column

Stub-column (the leftmost column) entries should be as brief as possible and can be layered (see example C). Note the use of indentations to differentiate the various layers. Stub column entries and subentries should be confined to one column. Data in columns to the right of the stub column should be in the same row as the stub column entry. Stub column entries should not run across into the body of the table. If necessary, the entries are broken and runover lines are indented.

Cut-In Heads

Cut-in heads are used when the contents of columns change (i.e., when new labels are needed for the data in the columns). This is the only circumstance in which headings should appear in the body of the table (see example A). 

Rules are used above and below cut-in heads. As with headings at the top of a table, cut-in heads may have more than one level.

Total Rule

A total rule is to be used only when there is a total that is actually the SUM of the numbers in a column. It is not to be used for averages, means, or other numbers that may summarize the data in a column, but that are not totals (see example B).

Table Body

Wherever possible, the body of the table should be free of symbols (%, $, etc.) or measurement abbreviations (m, cm, kg, etc.). Symbols should appear in the column head when they apply to all values in the column, or in the stub column when they apply to all values in the row. Sometimes they can even be placed at the end of the table title, if they apply to all of the data within the table.

Notes

AJA tables may include a general explanatory “Note” containing useful information about the table as a whole. Only one such note should be used; there may be multiple pieces of information in the same note (see example D). 

Notes pertaining to specific parts of the table should be labeled a, b, c, etc., in superscript. The note markers should be ordered in the body of the table from left to right, top to bottom, and the corresponding footnotes should be placed below the general table note.

All notes end with a period, even if they are not complete sentences.

Guidelines for Book Reviewers

The AJA seeks reviews that assess a book’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as locating it within the current field of scholarship. A reviewer’s assessment of the novelty of the author’s argument is often valuable for AJA readers. It is also helpful if reviewers indicate for which audiences and libraries the book seems appropriate. Reviews should not contain a list of contents or summarize a book, though overall organization and emphasis should be considered. Please avoid lists of minor imperfections (e.g., misplaced commas), but do not hesitate to draw attention to serious editorial problems and errors of fact or interpretation. A Book Review Editorial was published in AJA 121.1 (2017).

In January 2010, the AJA began publishing all book reviews and some review articles exclusively on AJA Open Access. Each review is tied to a specific issue of the print-published journal and is included in the table of contents of that issue. Select review articles continue to be published in the printed journal. Beginning with the January 2021 issue, the AJA started releasing book reviews on a monthly basis; a Book Review Editorial about this was published in AJA 125.1 (2021).

Those who wish to become reviewers should contact the Book Review Editor and provide a CV.

Book Review Submission

A book review or review article should be submitted to the Book Review Editor at bookreviews@archaeological.org. A review should be submitted as an MS Word file, should be typed double-spaced in 12-point Times New Roman font with 1-inch margins on all sides, and should conform as much as possible to AJA review format and style. The length of the book review should be about 1,500 words.

A maximum of one figure may be submitted with a book review or an online-only review article. (The AJA does not accept figures for print-published review articles.) Figures should be sized between 500 x 500 pixels and 1000 x 1000 pixels x 72 dpi; acceptable file types include .tif, .jpg, .eps, .bmp, and .ai.  Figures will be embedded within the published review and so will be available for public download.  

A book review or review article will not be accepted and scheduled for publication until a signed author warranty and written permission to reproduce any copyrighted figures have been received.

Once a book review or review article has been accepted for publication, it will be copyedited, then emailed to the reviewer with instructions for making any final changes and responding to queries. While the reviewer may clarify or modify the text in minor ways, no major revisions are permitted. Corrected files should be returned by the requested deadline.

Authors of online reviews can print copies of their review directly from AJA Open Access or, for reviews published 2022 to the present, our digital publishing platform.

Book Review Format and Style

Each review should be preceded by a heading listing the book to be reviewed (no italics), including series title and number if applicable, publisher, year of publication, number of pages, price (if available), ISBN, and format:

Reviewer Information

At the end of each review, reviewers should include their name in the exact format in which they would like it to appear, department (optional), institution, location, and email address. Or, if the reviewer is an independent scholar: their name in the exact format in which they would like it to appear, Independent Scholar, location, and email address. Authors who wish to present their information differently are welcome to discuss it with us. 

References

Notes and lists of works cited may be used only in review articles. References in single book reviews should be kept to a minimum and incorporated into the text itself, as follows:

The equivocal nature of the archaeological remains cries for a more theoretically grounded approach, perhaps through ethnographic comparanda along the lines of The Archaeology of Rank (P.K. Wason, Cambridge University Press 1994).

For the earlier period he points in particular to the apsidal houses and the incised pottery at the Altis site at Olympia, which Rutter (“A Group of Distinctive Pattern-Decorated Early Helladic III Pottery from Lerna and Its Implications,” Hesperia 51, 1982, 459–88) has identified as belonging to the early EH III.

Ryholt (The Political Situation in Egypt During the Second Intermediate Period, c. 1800–1550 B.C., Museum Tusculanum Press 1997, 104–5) has offered a different perspective on the palace.

Langdon (“The Awkward Age: Art and Maturation in Early Greece,” in Constructions of Childhood in Ancient Greece, A. Cohen and J. Rutter, eds., American School of Classical Studies at Athens 2007, 173–91) offers a different perspective.

Guidelines for Museum Reviewers

Editorial Policy

Museum exhibitions make important contributions to archaeological scholarship and are one of the most important ways that our field communicates with the wider public. For these reasons, museum exhibitions deserve examination by specialists. The AJA seeks to publish critical reviews of important exhibitions, museum installations, and other public displays of archaeological knowledge in the United States and abroad.  Museum reviews are usually published in the printed journal and always appear as open-access content on the AJA website (www.ajaonline.org). Each museum review is part of a quarterly issue of the journal and appears in the table of contents for that issue.

An AJA museum review should not simply offer a listing of the contents of an exhibition or new gallery installation but should instead assess its strengths and weaknesses and locate the exhibition or installation within current scholarship and museum practice. Reviewers should draw attention to serious problems of selection, interpretation, and errors of fact. It is also helpful for reviewers to indicate the audiences for which the exhibition seems appropriate. Comments are encouraged on the value of the catalogue as a permanent record of an exhibition and as a work of scholarship.  Comments are also encouraged on the value of the website or other electronic publications.  Additional suggestions about museum reviews can be found in “A Letter from the Editor of the Museum Reviews” (AJA 122.1 [2018]).

Museum Reviews follow the AJA’s Policy on the Publication and Citation of Unprovenanced Antiquities (AJA 124.2 (2020) 175-7; www.ajaonline.org/submissions/antiquities-policy). When mentioning a specific object, reviewers should follow the same requirements as authors of articles, reports, and notes. In addition, reviewers should state whether or not the exhibition contains objects acquired after 30 December 1973 that lack prior documentation or evidence of legal export from the country of origin. Reviewers should also provide a link to the acquisitions policies of the museum or exhibition venue.

Reviewers are invited by the Museum Review Editor or the Editor-in-Chief, but suggestions of appropriate exhibitions for review are welcome.  Publication of reviews is contingent upon acceptance by the Museum Review Editor and Editor-in-Chief.  The AJA reserves the right to edit reviews for content and length. Examples of reviews in past issues of the AJA may serve as models (see open access museum reviews).

Museum Review Submission

A museum review should be submitted as an MS Word file, should be typed double-spaced in 12-point Times New Roman font with 1-inch margins on all sides, and should conform as much as possible to AJA Museum Review Format and Style.

A museum review will not be accepted and scheduled for publication until a signed author warranty and written permission to reproduce any copyrighted figures have been received.

When a museum review has been accepted for publication, it will be copyedited, typeset, and proofread. The AJA will communicate with the reviewer during the copyediting stage; page proofs will then be emailed to the reviewer with instructions for making any final corrections. While the reviewer may clarify or modify page proofs in minor ways, no major revisions are permitted. Corrected proofs should be returned within one week of receipt.

The reviewer will receive one electronic PDF copy of the review. Reviewers may also print copies of their reviews directly from AJA Open Access.

Museum Review Format and Style

Heading

Reviews of temporary exhibitions should be preceded by a heading listing the exhibition or gallery installation to be reviewed. For example:

Unearthing the Truth: Egypt’s Pagan and Coptic Sculpture, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, 13 February–10 May 2009, curated by Edna R. Russmann.

Roma: La Pittura di un Impero, Scuderie del Quirinale, Rome, 24 September 2009–17 January 2010, curated by Eugenio La Rocca, Serena Ensoli, Stefano Tortorella, and Massimiliano Papini.

If the exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue, the bibliographic information should be included. For example:

Unearthing the Truth: Egypt’s Pagan and Coptic Sculpture, by Edna R. Russmann. New York: Brooklyn Museum 2009. Pp. 91, color figs. 44. ISBN 978-0-87273-162-2 (cloth). $19.95.

Roma: La Pittura di un Impero, edited by Eugenio La Rocca, Serena Ensoli, Stefano Tortorella, and Massimiliano Papini. Milan: Skira 2009. Pp. 333, b&w figs. 71, color figs. 172. ISBN 978-88-572-0425-3 (paper). €38.

Reviewer Information

At the end of the review, reviewers should include their name in the exact format in which they would like it to appear, department (optional), institution, location, and email address. Or, if the reviewer is an independent scholar: their name in the exact format in which they would like it to appear, Independent Scholar, location, and email address. Authors who wish to present their information differently are welcome to discuss it with us.

Text and References

A review should run approximately 4,000 to 5,000 words. Notes and accompanying bibliography are permitted. See also the list of AJA abbreviations of titles of periodicals and standard reference works. Works not listed should be written in full.

Figures

A museum review may be accompanied by up to five figures. Authors may include up to five additional figures to appear as online-only supplementary material. No figures will be published without written permission from the copyright holder. See Figure Preparation on the AJA website for more information.

Additional Formatting and Style Information

For other matters of style and format, AJA Museum Reviews should follow the guidelines for all contributors to the AJA: http://www.ajaonline.org/submissions.

AJA Abbreviations

The AJA uses an abbreviated format for some standard references works and journals and book series titles. 

The abbreviations found in the list of Standard Reference Works should be used in notes, and the titles should not appear in the list of works cited.

The abbreviations found in the list of Journals and Book Series should be used instead of the full title in the list of works cited.
