Open Access Paleoanthropology Dissertations

Paleoanthropology Society
The Paleoanthropology Society provides a dissertation (PhD thesis) distribution service. We will place your dissertation, in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, on our web server so that others can easily access it. This service does not preclude you from publishing it elsewhere.

To place your dissertation on this web site, you will first need to submit the abstract to us for review. We will assess whether it meets with our mission to support work in the field of paleoanthropology. Once it is accepted, you will then provide us with a PDF version.

Open Access Journal: PaleoAnthropology

PaleoAnthropology
The journal PaleoAnthropology is published jointly by the Society and the University of Pennsylvania Museum. The journal is accessible free of charge to everyone, including non-members of the Paleoanthropology Society. The journal can be accessed here.

In addition to the publication of articles, book reviews, and the abstracts of the annual meetings of the Society, the journal accepts commentaries on articles, summaries of current work in the various fields of paleoanthropology. Articles are fully peer-reviewed and may contain large data files, numerous illustrations and links to visualizations; manuscripts based on dissertation work, up to entire dissertations, may be submitted as appropriate. As always, the journal depends on the contributions of scholars within the field, and the editors would like to take this opportunity to encourage all of you to think of our journal as an outlet for the presentation of your research.

Open Access Digital Library: AMAR: Archive of Mesopotamian Archaeological Site Reports

[Originally posted 7/27/09. Updated 1/29/10 (see below)]

AMAR: Archive of Mesopotamian Archaeological Site Reports
The Archive of Mesopotamian Archaeological Reports (AMAR) collection is under development as part of the Iraq Cultural Heritage Program Grant, funded by International Relief and Development (IRD) in cooperation with the Cultural Affairs Office, US Embassy Baghdad, and the Cultural Heritage Center, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, Department of State. The project director, Elizabeth Stone, has directed archaeological excavations in Iraq, has been engaged in advanced training for Iraqi archaeologists and has attempted to document and stem the damage to Iraq's archaeological sites. Dr. Stone is collaborating with the University Libraries at Stony Brook University to make the AMAR collection available online. Before developing this online collection, she contributed more than one hundred digitized volumes to the ETANA website. The aim of the AMAR project is to digitize 500 archaeological site reports describing archaeological excavations both in Iraq and in the immediately surrounding areas (Turkey, Syria, Iran and the Gulf). This will include both out-of-copyright as well as in-copyright and in-print materials. This online collection is intended to provide basic sources of information to our colleagues in Iraq, and also other archaeologists working in the Middle East. October 2010 is the projected completion date.

Nearly all the content in AMAR has been accessible for some time via the Oriental Institute Electronic Publications Initiative, and ETANA Core Texts. AMAR is nevertheless an important central place for Mesopotmian archaeological reports, and will be the repository for several hundred additional volumes within the next year.

Update 1/29/10: Some new content has recently appeared in AMAR, including:
