The Journal of Contemporary Archaeology publishes articles in a number of different formats. Discussion Articles raise timely methodological and/or theoretical issues and include one or more specially commissioned comments from experts in the field and a reply from the author, published in the same issue. Discussion articles generally run to 7,000-10,000 words in length, and we aim to publish at least one such article annually. Research Articles are generally shorter, at up to 8,000 words in length, and may contain more empirical data, be more case-study driven, or contain discussion of more focussed theoretical or methodological issues. Interviews are occasional edited discussions between an author or artist who has made (or is in the process of making) a key contribution to the subfield and other researcher(s) who share interests in the interviewee's general area of research. These interviews will generally be commissioned by the editors, however we would welcome initial approaches about suitable candidates as interviewers and interviewees. Forums are composed of a series of short 2-3,000 word responses to a previously circulated question or issue of contemporary interest. Photo Essays may include up to 20 images and should include 2-3,000 words of text. Submissions of Discussion Articles, Research Articles, and Photo Essays conforming to the word lengths above and formatted according to the instructions for authors, are welcome. Topics/subjects for Forums and Interviews should be sent to the editors in a brief email for discussion. Similarly, ideas for web only or supplementary web content should also be sent for initial discussion to the editors.
