Guidelines for Contributors

Hukay, published twice a year, is the refereed journal of the University of the Philippines - Archaeological Studies Program. Hukay has expanded its geographical area beyond the Philippines. We now accept articles on the archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, and heritage of the Asia and Pacific regions. Reviews of books and articles on similar and related topics are likewise accepted. On occasions, we invite a guest editor to come up with a theme volume. Papers may be submitted throughout the year while contributions for theme volumes have specific deadlines. Articles are reviewed by at least three specialists from a pool of international scholars. Reviewers' comments and suggestions are forwarded to the author(s), who should implement them in the final version of the paper.

It is published bi-annually. The main text, including captions, must not be more than 7,000 words provided that these can stand on their own and have not been previously published. Book reviews are also accepted. Manuscripts may be mailed or personally submitted with a soft copy to:

The Editor, Hukay,
Archaeological Studies Program,
University of the Philipines,
Diliman, Quezon City 1101

Or the articles can be sent to Grace Barretto-Tesoro at mdbarretto@up.edu.ph.
