The Harvard referencing system is advocated for indicating works/material used in the essays. This system is made up piece of evidence taken from a consulted work. All references quoted or used for general reading must be included in the bibliography. Footnotes must be avoided if possible.
The bibliographic references should be in alphabetical order, and if the same author is quoted more than once, the earlier reference should come first. The following form should be used to indicate sources used:
Book:
Wilkinson, T. A. H. 1999. Early Dynastic Egypt. London: Routledge.
Conference paper or a collected work (book):
Robins, G. 1996. Dress, Undress, and the Representation of Fertility and Potency in New Kingdom Art, in N. B. Kampen (ed.), Sexuality in Ancient Art. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press: 29-39.
Article in a journal:
Spencer‚ J. & Spencer‚ P. 2000. The Delta Survey, Egyptian Archaeology 16: 25-7.
Thesis or dissertation that is unpublished:
Fletcher, A. J. 1995. Ancient Egyptian Hair: A Study in Style, Form and Function. Unpublished Ph.D. thesis, Manchester, Manchester University.
This system must be adhered to for all ECHO publications.
