About the journal
Geoarchaeology is an interdisciplinary journal published six times per year (in January, March, May, July, September and November). It presents the results of original research at the methodological and theoretical interface between archaeology and the geosciences and includes within its scope: interdisciplinary work focusing on understanding archaeological sites, their environmental context, and particularly site formation processes and how the analysis of sedimentary records can enhance our understanding of human activity in Quaternary environments. Manuscripts should examine the interrelationship between archaeology and the various disciplines within Quaternary science and the Earth Sciences more generally, including, for example: geology, geography, geomorphology, pedology, climatology, oceanography, geochemistry, geochronology, and geophysics. We also welcome papers that deal with the biological record of past human activity through the analysis of faunal and botanical remains and palaeoecological reconstructions that shed light on past human-environment interactions. The journal also welcomes manuscripts concerning the examination and geological context of human fossil remains as well as papers that employ analytical techniques to advance understanding of the composition and origin or material culture such as, for example, ceramics, metals, lithics, building stones, plasters, and cements.

Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts must be original works not currently under consideration elsewhere for publication. Geoarchaeology has adopted an online submission process, available at mc.manuscriptcentral.com/gea . As of July 1, 2006, hardcopy submissions will no longer be accepted.
Each manuscript must include a maximum 150-word abstract, text, references, tables, and figures. Number all pages through the reference section, beginning with the abstract. Although exceptions will be considered, the text should not exceed 30 typewritten pages. Authors will receive an automatically generated e-mail acknowledging their manuscript submission. All manuscripts will be reviewed by the editors and by two or more readers. If review remarks are such that substantial changes are necessary before a manuscript is acceptable for publication, the revised manuscript may be re-reviewed, preferably by the original readers, before it is accepted for publication by the editor-in-chief.
No article can be published unless accompanied by a signed publication agreement from all authors and co-authors, which serves as a transfer of copyright from author to publisher. A publication agreement may be obtained from the editor or the publisher. A copy of the publication agreement appears in most issues of the journal. Without a signed copyright transfer agreement from all authors, production cannot begin on original manuscripts. Only original papers will be accepted, and copyright in published papers will be vested in the publisher. It is the author’s responsibility to obtain written permission to reproduce material that has appeared in another publication.
Manuscript Format
Text must be submitted in DOC or RTF format. Do not embed figures or tables within the main document; these will be submitted as separate files in Manuscript Central.
Title
Titles should be as short as possible but still convey the essence of the manuscript.
Name(s) and Affiliation(s) of Author(s)
Keep addresses short but complete, including zip code and country so that communications can reach you. A complete phone number, fax number, and e-mail address should be given in the cover letter included with the manuscript.
Abstract
The abstract should represent a complete, concise summary of the paper, including the subject, aim, methods and conclusions, and should not exceed 150 words. Statements such as “the implications of the results are discussed...” are not acceptable. The word ABSTRACT should be capitalized and placed flush at the left margin of the page above the abstract.
Introduction
The introduction should give the purpose and a review of previous work for a synthesis, research paper, or methodology/technique paper. As with the remainder of the manuscript, all headings should be placed flush on the left margin of the page. The first-order heading, INTRODUCTION, should be capitalized. Second-order headings should have the first letter of each principle word capitalized and the following letters in lower case. Third-order headings are italicized (underlined) with the first letter of each principal word capitalized and the remaining letters in lower case. Fourth-order headings are not permitted.
Methods, Techniques, Materials Studied, or Geographic Area
This section, especially in research and methodology/technique papers, should give precise information on methods used and the data base of the study. All quantitative material should be expressed in the International System of Units (SI) or modern metric units. Scientific names of plant and animal genera, species, and subspecies should be italicized (underlined); specific and lower categories being written with a lower-case initial letter. Nomenclature should follow the appropriate international code. Geological, archaeological, ecological, and other scientific names should follow standard usage or be defined the first time they are employed in the text.
Intervals of time may be presented as yr, ka, and Ma according to guidelines of the International Union of Geological Sciences. Historical dates are to be presented as BC/AD (e.g., 550 BC to AD 200). Uncalibrated radiocarbon ages are to be presented as 14C yr BP with “present” meaning AD 1950 and include standard errors and laboratory numbers [e.g., 8690+50 (Beta-183331)]. Radiocarbon ages with standard errors between 50 and 1000 years should be rounded to the decade; standard errors greater than 1000 years should be rounded to the century. Calibrated radiocarbon ages are to be presented as cal yr BP or BC/AD and given as one or two sigma error ranges with the calibration data set used. In providing calibrated ages, always provide the original radiocarbon dates plus standard error. Other radiometric ages (e.g., K/Ar, OSL) should also include error ranges. For further guidance in presenting chronometric information, authors should refer to recent issues of Geoarchaeology.
Results
This section should present results derived and substantiated from the data base.
Conclusions
Interpretations based on the results and broader implications derived from the study should be placed in this section.
Acknowledgments
If acknowledgments are desired, place them after the last section of the text. As a matter of professional courtesy, the efforts of named or anonymous referees should be acknowledged.

In text citations, the author's name (or authors connected by an ampersand (&) if two (Smith & Jones, 1980), or a comma and ampersand if three (Smith, Jones, & Davis, 2000) and with "et al." after the first name if more than three) and year of publication should be given; e.g., “(Jones, 1980)” or “according to Jones (1980).” Where more than one reference is cited, they should be placed with the oldest date first; e.g., “(Jones, 1980; Smith, 1985; Wilson, 1992).” Citations from a portion of a longer work must give a page reference. Personal communications should give name and date as follows; “(Black, personal communication, 1992).” Personal communications are not listed in the REFERENCES section. Works cited should be alphabetically grouped by first author's surname in an unnumbered list titled REFERENCES at the end of the body of the manuscript, following ACKNOWLEDGMENTS (if used). Where two or more references are cited for the same author(s), the name(s) is (are) spelled out a second time rather than using a dash. Authors should look at a recent issue of Geoarchaeology for bibliographic style. The following list gives the format for the most common cases:

Manuscripts that have a REFERENCES section that differs from the Geoarchaeology format will be returned to the author(s) for correction before they can be accepted for publication.
Tables
Tables are to be uploaded as separate files in Manuscript Central. Tables should be created with a word processor and saved in either DOC or RTF format. Do not embed tables in your text. An in-text citation to each table should be made, either as a part of a sentence, as seen in Table III, or in parentheses (Table IV). Table captions should be grouped on one or more pages, consecutively numbered, and placed at the end of the manuscript.
Illustrations
To ensure the highest print quality, your figures must be submitted in TIF format according to the following minimum resolutions:
1200 dpi (dots per inch) for black and white line art (simple bar graphs, charts, etc.)
300 dpi for halftones (black and white photographs)
600 dpi for combination halftones (photographs that also contain line art such as labeling or thin lines)
Vector-based figures (e.g. figures created in Adobe Illustrator) should be submitted in EPS format.
In addition to the above resolution guidelines, color figures must be submitted in a CMYK colorspace. Do not submit color figures as RGB. Do not submit figures in any of the following formats: JPG, GIF, PSD, CRD, PCT, PPT, PDF, XLS, DOC, BMP, 123 (or other Lotus formats).
All illustrations are to be numbered in a single sequence as Figure 1, Figure 2, etc., and uploaded as separate files in Manuscript Central. Color photographs or drawings can be published at the expense of the author. Please note that original figures will be reduced to fit the text page; maximum final size after reduction is 5 × 7 in. Extra-length material requiring foldouts is not acceptable. Whenever separate items are shown in a single figure, each object is to be designated by a lower case, alphabet letter. The caption should then include descriptions of these alphabetized items. Figure captions should be consecutively numbered on one or more pages and placed at the end of the manuscript.
Proofs will be sent to the author (or to the principal author if more than one) of each accepted submission. It is the responsibility of the authors to check the proofs carefully for errors. Only absolutely necessary corrections can be made in proof. Reprints may be purchased at https://caesar.sheridan.com/reprints/redir.php?pub=10089&acro=GEA. The publisher reserves the right to “pass for press” if authors' corrections are not received in time. Authors receiving proofs should check with their coauthor(s) concerning corrections. Authors who will be away for extended periods of time should arrange for a coauthor or colleague to check the proofs; their address (including e-mail) and phone number should be provided.
Proposals for Special Issues
Requests for publishing proceedings from professional meetings as a special issue of Geoarchaeology will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Proposals should be submitted in writing to the co-editors of the journal.
Comments on Previously Published Articles
We welcome short discussions on papers that have already appeared in Geoarchaeology. Discussions should be concise (ideally about 1000 words) and written in an objective and scientific manner. Authors should consult the Co-Editors in the first instance and then submit the discussion online via Manuscript Central as described above. Discussions should make a significant contribution to the debate and not be just an additional observation. They may include one or two figures. Authors should ensure that they include all the cited references, even if they were in the original paper. The author(s) of the paper under discussion will be given an opportunity to respond and both discussion and response will be published together. Discussion papers will be fast-track peer-reviewed and the editors reserve the right to reject those that do not conform to the standards of the journal.
Note to NIH Grantees Pursuant to NIH mandate, Wiley-Blackwell will post the accepted version of contributions authored by NIH grant-holders to PubMed Central upon acceptance. This accepted version will be made publicly available 12 months after publication. For further information, see www.wiley.com/go/nihmandate .
