IN MEMORIAM

California Archaeology publishes original papers on the archaeology of Alta
California, Baja California, and adjoining regions (southern Oregon, western
Nevada and Arizona). The journal is dedicated to advancing knowledge of
California's past and it will consider manuscripts that treat theory,
method, and/or empirical findings from either the prehistoric or historic
(text-aided) era. Ethnohistoric or ethnographic studies will be considered
only if they make explicit connections to or have clear implications for the
material record. Paleoenvironmental studies will be considered with the same
caveat. Papers dealing with the recent past (< 50 years) will be given lower
priority for publication.
The journal publishes four types of papers: articles that advance
theoretical, methodological, and/or empirical knowledge of a major issue in
the prehistory or history of California or an adjoining region; reports that
present descriptive information on important and/or unusual discoveries;
letters, that briefly comment on recently published research (commonly
followed by a response); reviews, that briefly evaluate recently published
books, DVDs, museum exhibits, or other materials with significant
archaeological content.
The journal also publishes in each issue a News and Notes column, which
includes information on recent field work, legal developments, and/or other
events or activities related to the practice of archaeology in California
and adjoining regions.
