We are open for submissions for Celebrating Archaeology in Scotland 2024. It seeks to showcase the value archaeology brings to Scotland and report on the delivery of Scotland’s Archaeology Strategy’s key aims. This year will be the seventh issue, following on from our successful issues of the past six years, and a five year review. This year’s issue will be fully digital, available for free online and in an accessible format.
We are eager to showcase the sector’s work in bringing to light the broad range of stories represented in Scottish Archaeology. We want to ensure we recognise the diversity of the past, the sector and its workforce, as well as the culturally varied nature of archaeological research within Scotland. With this in mind, the 2024 theme is inclusivity in Scottish Archaeology, and we would particularly welcome content around this topic.
We would welcome any news stories you may have, as well as information on upcoming initiatives and events from the wider archaeological community.
We have room for submissions of no more than around 300 words at the most, but we would also welcome short pieces of news or notices around 50 words in length. Submissions should have at least two high-res images to illustrate the story, and more if possible. For guidelines on your submission, including image captions, copyright, and our editing process, please refer to our notes for contributors page.
Please send your submissions to ArchaeologyStrategy@hes.scot no later than the 12th of July. We hope to launch the magazine online at the end of October.
We look forward to reading your submissions!
