Submission

Instructions for Authors

If sufficient material is received in time, Mesolithic Miscellany will endeavour to publish two issues per calendar year. We are primarily interested in research articles, brief summaries of fieldwork projects, notes on new radiocarbon dates, conference and book reviews, PhD and research projects as well as photo essays.

Please send research articles, brief summaries of fieldwork projects and notes on new radiocarbon dates for Mesolithic Miscellany to Chris Meiklejohn (c.meiklejohn@uwinnipeg.ca) with a copy to mesolithicmiscellany@googlemail.com

Please send conference and book reviews, PhD and research projects as well as photo essays for publication in either Mesolithic Miscellany or Mesolithic Miscellany Monthly to mesolithicmiscellany@googlemail.com. Please indicate the publication in your email.

Document format

Please submit as .doc or .docx files with as little formatting as possible (though do indicate the titles and subheadings). Either embed figures or send them separately.

In text citations should be in brackets as follows: for a single author (name, date); for two authors (name & name, date); for three or more authors (first author et al., date).
