We hope to receive thoughtful contributions on topics ranging from recent advances in the field, innovations in teaching and training, emerging trends in data management, the future role of AI in archaeometry, the state of research funding, publishing industries, novel methods for public and community engagement, and other topics as relevant. We especially encourage contributions from Aboriginal and descendant communities, and colleagues from underrepresented regions.

Contributions can be single or multi-authored, between 3,000-10,000 words, and need not necessarily include original case studies. We also encourage less-formal, Q&A style interviews as contributions. All contributions will undergo peer review and will appear online as they are published.
