American Antiquity is a principal journal of the Society for American Archaeology (SAA). This web page provides tables of contents—and complete article abstracts in both English and Spanish— for all issues beginning in 1995, as well as e-mail links for the journal’s editorial staff. Topics of recent articles include the Solutrean Settlement of North America, Archaeology and Native North American Oral Traditions, The Recovery and First Analysis of an Early Holocene Human Skeleton from Kennewick (Washington), and Rural Communities in the Black Warrior Valley (Alabama). Additional articles address Women and Children at the Old Baton Rouge Penitentiary, Paleoindian Colonization of the Colonization of the Americas, Paleoindian Colonization of the Colonization of the Americas, Prehistorical Ceramics and People in Southeast Missouri, and Cannibalism, Warfare, and Drought in the Mesa Verde Region during the Twelfth Century A.D. For would-be contributors, the web site also includes the journal’s style guide and information on the journal’s editorial policy. For those interested in casting a wider net, this web site also offers links to the Journal of Latin American Antiquity and associated newsletters and bulletins of the SAA, among them the Newsletter of Archeology and Public Education and various other little publications, all of them available in online hypertext editions.
