Kiva - Call for Papers

Kiva, the Journal of Southwestern Anthropology and History, the premier professional journal devoted to the anthropology of the Greater Southwest, invites submissions. Produced since 1935 by the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society, the journal publishes peer-reviewed articles focused on the greater U.S. Southwest and Mexican Northwest aimed at professional and well informed lay audiences. Topics cover a broad range in Anthropology and History ranging from topics such as Paleoindian subsistence strategies to Archaic period agricultural origins to dendrochronological analysis of an early 20^th century homestead to late 20^th century Native American boarding school life (and everything in between).

Kiva also publishes guest edited thematic issues (typically around 5 articles) approximately once a year.

If you are interested in submitting a manuscript, please visit https://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?show=instructions&journalCode=ykiv20

If you are interested in submitting a proposal for a thematic issue or have questions, please contact either or both of the two journal co-editors:

Thomas R. Rocek <rocek@udel.edu>

Alison E. Rautman <rautman@msu.edu>
