AARGnews
© Rog Palmer 2018
AARGnews is the bi-annual newsletter of the Aerial Archaeology Research Group and is circulated to all AARG members. Since issue 35 it has been prepared and circulated in pdf format. Containing editorials, news items, summary notes and longer descriptive or research articles, AARGnews remains a diverse and open forum for the discussion and exchange of new (and old) ideas related to aerial archaeology, remote sensing, and landscape studies.
Well illustrated with photographs, maps and plans, recent papers have covered aerial photography, air photo interpretation and mapping, historic aviators and their work, the methodology and progress of national remote sensing programmes, satellite imagery, book reviews and useful excerpts from the World Wide Web.

Notes for contributors:
We welcome articles of any length and format. You can write about your research, methods, techniques, case studies, reviews, opinions, or anything else that might interest our readers. We would particularly welcome the inclusion of photographs, images, maps, plans, or other illustrations to support your article. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact us.
Other than the requirement for contributions to be in English (don’t worry if English is not your first language – we can help you with that), there are no strict instructions for contributors, although there are some preferences which will help with the production of an issue as detailed below.
Format: Send your contribution as a .docx file with your last name and a short title in the filename (e.g. Jones-The dial of destiny.docx). A unique reference number will be assigned to your contribution upon receipt for future correspondence.
Articles should be up to a maximum of 12 A4 pages in length including illustrations. For information, a typical page of text equates to approximately 700 words. Shorter informal contributions of three or four pages in length are also welcome. Longer contributions can be fitted in, if necessary, but may have to be held over to the next issue.
Please keep your formatting simple as we will edit your article to the AARGnews style. A single column of text on each page with figures and tables included where you would like to see them along would be idea. Footnotes can be used if required, but not for references. Authors’ contact details (i.e. email address) are usually footnote 1.
Abstract: Please consider including a short abstract for articles longer than 3-4 pages. Three or four lines should suffice.
References: Include a list of references at the end of the article in alphabetical order using the Chicago Manual of Style format. E.g., In the main text: Jones (2023). In the list of references: Jones, I., 2023. “Remote sensing and the search for the Dial of Destiny” AARGnews 67: 1-3.
Images and tables: Good-quality JPGs at 300 dpi are perfect and should be pasted in the text where you would like to see them along with a suitable caption. Please ensure that you have permission to use the images, or they should be royalty-free. Likewise, tables should be included in the text at the desired position.
Copyright: Unless you specify otherwise, the copyright of the article will remain with you as the author(s) and will be distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) licence. This licence lets others distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation. However, you may wish to consider distributing your article under a different CC licence that restricts the use of all or part of your contribution by others. Possible CC licences include:
- Attribution Share-Alike (CC BY-SA) – This licence lets others remix, adapt, and build upon your work even for commercial purposes, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms.
- Attribution Non-Commercial (CC BY-NC) – This licence lets others remix, adapt, and build upon your work non-commercially, and although their new works must also acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they don’t have to license their derivative works on the same terms.
- Attribution NonCommercial-NoDerivs (CC-BY-NC-ND) – This licence is the most restrictive of the
six main CC licenses, only allowing others to download your works and share them with others as long as they credit you, but they can’t change them in any way or use them commercially.
Please specify if you wish your article to be distributed under a more restrictive CC licence than CC BY when you submit your article. Further information can be found at Creative Commons Licences List .
Submission deadlines: The deadlines for submission are 15 March and 15 September for the April and October issues respectively. You can also submit your contribution at any time, in which case it will be considered for the next issue.
To submit your article, please send it to @ Editorial Team. Your contribution will be acknowledged within two working days.
‘Offprints’: Contributors will be sent a full PDF copy of the relevant issue of AARGnews together with a PDF ‘offprint’ of their paper.
We look forward to reading your articles and sharing them with the AARG community!
