Anthropology 399 Research Guide: Environmental Archaeology


Finding Background Information ...


  • Archaeological Sites Subject Headings This research guide can help you figure out the subject headings to use for searching for items in the library catalog.

  • Encyclopedias and dictionaries are a useful place to gather background information on your topic.
    A few examples:
    • Encyclopedia of Archaeology
      (REF KNIGHT CC70 .E54 2008 v.1-3)
    • Encyclopedia of World Environmental History
      (REF KNIGHT GF10 .E63 2004 v.1-3)
    • Indigenous Peoples and Environmental Issues
      (REF KNIGHT GF50 .J65 2003)

Looking for Articles ...

  • Anthropology Plus indexes articles and essays in all of the subfields of anthropology, from the 19th century to the present.

  • Web of Science is an interdisciplinary index to articles in the sciences and social sciences, making it particularly useful for the multidisciplinary needs of anthropology researchers.

  • GeoBase is the best database for finding human geography articles. Human geography's significant overlaps with Cultural Anthropology and Archaeology make this a great option for a broader search to supplement what you find in AnthroSource and Anthropology Plus.

Finding Government Publications ...

  • Government Publications Guides - This research guide can help you find where to find the type of government information you need, whether local, national, or from another country.

  • Oregon Policy Directory - Find Oregon public policy information with this search-enhanced guide.


Citing your sources ...

You should cite everything! Even things that are "free on the internet" need to be attributed to their authors. For Anthropology/Archaeology the commonly used citation method is the AAA Style Guide, which matches the Chicago Manual of Style.
