3. Quotations
A quotation allows the reader to locate origin al docu ments or sources of information. Between
the quotation and the biblio graphical referen ce of the document there should b e an exact
corresp ondence.
3.1. The journal’s policy is to refer in the text, between brackets, the author’s name, the date of
p ublication and, if necessary, the number or numbers of the quoted p ages. If the author’s
name is within the text, the y ear and the p age numbers are to be in cluded, between brackets.
Examp les: (Encarnação, 1984, p . 132-137)
3.2. Where there are two or more documents by the same author, in the same y ear, these are
design ated (a, b, c...) in the quotation and in the biblio grap hical referen ce.
Examp le: «Já em 1963 tinha sido achado p or J. Fragoso de Lima (1963a)...»
3.3. Whenever a work is rep eatedly cited along the text, an abbreviation can be used ob. cit. or
op . cit.
Examp le: «ap esar da op inião contrária de F. Pop lin (ob. cit., p . 15)...»
(Bouchud, op . cit., p . 25)
3.4. Every time the author has not consulted a document and the quotation is referred to through
another author, the abbreviation Cit. p or (quoted by ) or Apud (according, after) should
p recede the citations.
4. Dates
4.1. The journal adop ts the rules contained in the p rop osal about reference of radiocarbon datin g
app roved in the 1º Congresso de Arqueologia Peninsular – 1st Congress of Peninsular
Archaeolo gy (Porto: Anthropology and Ethnolo gy Society, 1995. v. 6. (Anthropology and
Ethnology Essay s; 35: 2)).
4.2. In citing dates, which result from other methods, the same p rocedure of radiocarbon datin g
should be ap p lied (laboratory, number of datin g, d ate obtained and trial and error), followed
by the acrony ms of the respective method (TL, U/Th, etc.). In these cases, in which the
equivalence convention BP = 1950 is not followed and the difference b etween “conventional
dates” and “real dates” is not used or does not make sense, they should refer to calendar
y ears, according to the traditional Portuguese standard: AC. (antes de Cristo), D.C. (depois
de Cristo) – BC and AD.
4.3. On mentioning chronolo gical magnitudes (ex: III milénio, século IV, terceiro quartel do
século II, etc. – 3rd millenn ium, 4th century, third quarter of the 2nd century , etc.), that do
not expressly refer to any sp ecific radio carbon dating, or the sy nthesis of dates obtained by
different methods should follow the traditional Portuguese standard: A.C. (antes de Cristo)
and D.C. (dep ois de Cristo) (Before Christ -BC) and (After Christ-AD)
4.4. Generally , we strongly advise that, when technically p ossible, the traditional Portuguese
standard should be used (A.C. / D.C.), supposing that the same system corresponds to real
calendar dates and thus, in the case of radiocarbon dating, it demands the p revious
calibration of the conventional dates obtained.
5. Illustrations
5.1. The originals must allow a reduction to the formatted page, excep t when it should be
considered absolutely indisp ensable to resort to a leaflet. The formatted p age is 19 cm x 12,4
cm, includin g the composed cap tion.
5.2. The journal is printed in a single colour, therefore the p rinting of drawin gs and photograp hs
will be made in a sin gle colour, too. We accep t coloured or b lack and white slid es or p rinted
cop ies, in any format.
5.3. Regardin g drawin gs, it is necessary to take into account the thickness of the lines and the
size of the numbers or letters, so that they should be legible in the reductions.
5.4. The digital images (drawin gs or p hotograp hs) require a minimum resolution of 300 dp i for a
minimum size equal to the page width (12,4 cm). They must be supp lied in CD, DVD, or
comp uter diskette, in the formats PSD, JPG, TIFF, RAW, EPS or vector-based EPS files. A
p rinted copy of each figure must be supp lied.
5.5. Drawings or p hotographs, tables and grap hs should be numbered consecutively , accord in g to
the following instructions:
5.5.1. Drawings or p hotograp hs
Fig. 1, 2...
The figures should have a scale.
5.5.2. Tables
Table 1, 2...
5.5.3. Grap hs
Graph 1, 2...
5.6. The authors should avoid drawing their own map s; they should use cop ies of map s that are
already available.
5.7. If the article informs about definite sites, the first figure (not numbered) should locate them
on a map of the Iberian Peninsula or on another ap p rop riate one.
6. Tables and frameworks
The titles of tables and frameworks should be centred; the remaining data should be justified to
the left with no up right line drawings.
Examp le:
Table 1
7. Submitting originals
The originals must follow the journal’s submission guidelines, in order to be published. We only
start comp osing comp lete originals:
a) Abstract in Portuguese, French or En glish, with 3 to 5 keywords for indexation;
b) Origin al text;
c) Biblio grap hy ;
d) Cap tions of the illustrations;
e) Illustrations.
8. Proof correction
The sy mbols established by the Portuguese Standards of 1987 (NP-61) should be followed.
8.1. Alterations to the original text should be avoided. They will be the resp onsibility of the
authors.
8.2. The p roof reviewer uses red. The author is requested to use a different colour.
9. Offprints
A samp le of the journ al and 30 offp rints for each article, will be p rovided free of charge. By the
