Anthropologie publishes original papers, research reports and news, book reviews, notes and announcements. Manuscripts will be accepted in English, French or German.

The original copy should be computer-printed or typed double-spaced, on one side of paper, including notes and bibliographic references. Top, bottom and both side margins should be of about 3 cm.

The editor will particularly appreciate submissions on diskette (if possible, delivered in MS Word). For security's sake, the authors are kindly asked to make another version of the manuscript on the same diskette (exported in plain ASCII format).

The diskette should be a 3.5 inch diskette, preferably in Windows format (IBM MS-DOS or Macintosh being also accepted). It must be labeled with the author’s name, the file name(s), and the word-processing program used.

In any case, the diskette must be accompanied by a printed copy of the manuscript. If the diskette and paper copy differ, the paper copy will be considered as the definitive version.

TITLE PAGE
The title page must contain the title (used as the same time as running headline), the author’s (or authors’) full name or names, and an address for correspondence including telephone number, fax number and e-mail address.

KEYWORDS AND ABSTRACT
Manuscripts submitted as main papers must be accompanied by an abstract and key words in the language of the text, and preferably also in English when the text is in French or in German.
