The latest edition of Trowel is almost here
After an eventful year, the publication of the latest edition of Trowel, student journal of the UCD School of Archaeology, is now imminent. The editors are now in the final stages of formatting and intend to have the journal printed by the end of November.
Although a launch date has yet to be determined, it is expected that one will be announced in the coming week.
Trowel XIV marks the 25th anniversary of the journal and in celebration of this, homage will be paid to earlier editions in terms of dimensions, artwork and even with regard to the themes of some of the written contributions. In looking to the future, Trowel XIV will depart from all previous volumes in an endeavour to become a journal for all students of archaeology – undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate alike.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact the editors at trowelucd@gmail.com.

Trowel XIV - Now accepting abstracts!
A new year has rolled around, and with it a new edition of UCD School of Archaeology’s student journal Trowel forthcoming. After the fantastic success of Trowel XIII, both in quality of publication as well as enthusiasm of application, it is with great pride and excitement that the 2012/2013 editors are now asking for interested parties to contemplate putting forward papers of their own.
First and foremost, do not be put off! This is, above all else, a student led and published endeavour. It is for students that it is run. Whether your writing is already worthy of “antiquity” or still requiring a little work we are here to help, and we hope that any perceived formalities will not put you off.
Articles should be 3000 words (2000 for undergraduates), but for now all we need is a 300-word abstract, which should be submitted by March 15th.
The provisional deadline of the completed paper will be June 7th, with the aim of publishing in September of this year.
This is a golden opportunity for students to experience the process of submitting a paper, and seeing your name in print, outside of the world of formal academia. Most of all we want this to be fun.
So, to any and all that have ever wanted to write up a paper for a journal, to experience the process of drafting and collaboration, or to see yourself published then please write up your abstract soon and send it on to us at trowelucd@gmail.com.
While you are here you might also wish to look over back issues which can be found from the links above. Perhaps they might serve as inspiration for your own piece with us!
Many thanks, and hope to see you all in the inbox soon!
