Journal of Arizona Archaeology

The Journal of Arizona Archaeology is a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the presentation of emerging ideas, new methods, and current research in Arizona archaeology. It endeavors to be a forum for the scholarly, yet simple communication of research and management related to Arizona's archaeological record. The journal is published twice a year by the Arizona Archaeological Council (AAC) in both electronic and paper formats. At least one issue per year is devoted to the theme of the AAC annual fall conference.  The remaining issues of the journal are intended for open submissions. Invited guest editors assist with the compilation of each issue.

THE Spring 2024 ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE!

The spring 2024 issue (Volume 10 Number 2) of the Journal of Arizona Archaeology is available on the AAC website for members and can be found in the members-only section here. Subscribers to the hard copy edition will also receive their paper issues in the mail.
