Captions to figures should be written separately and clearly numbered. Illustrations – photographs, drawings and tables – should be clearly numbered. Credits should be stated at the end of the caption.

The author is responsible for obtaining necessary permissions to publish figures and illustrations. The placing of the figures in relation to the text should be marked. Figures should be submitted along with the manuscript.

Notes should be avoided as far as possible. References should be included in parentheses at the relevant place in the text. Notes should only be used for comments, clarifications or discussion.

The list of References should include subtitles like Archives, Literature, Internet and Fieldwork. Literature should be presented as follows:
