Authoring other books

Giorgio Buccellati – May 2025

    The digital books devoted to excavation units are characterized by a large number of authors, due to the fact that they are the result of an extensive array of individuals, who contribute in a variety of different ways to the final publication of the book.

    By contrast, the other books in the system are for the most part dependent on just one author, some times with the collaboration and the assistance of a few others.

    As a result, crediting is restricted to the cover and the front matter page.

    As an example of a single author one may look at the cover and title page of this website

    As an example of multiple authors one may look at the cover and title page of the Ceramics digital book. In this case, two separate pages are devoted to authorship for individuals who are included in the masthead, and to other contributors who have collaborated in a variety of different ways. It should be noted that in this case a background author is also included in the masthead, namely the author of a program written specifically for this book.
