Good Luck!

AAA Style

The Publishing Department is pleased to announce the AAA Style Guide was revised in July 2009 and is now available for download below. This replaces the previous style guide, which was released in 2003.

AAA uses The Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition, 2003) and Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (11th edition, 2006). This guide is an outline of style rules basic to our journal editing. Where no rule is present in this guide, follow Chicago. In Webster’s, use the first spelling if there is a choice and use American (rather than British) spellings. This guide does not apply to newsletters, which deviate frequently from these guidelines in the interest of space and tend to follow many Associated Press style rules.

Neandertal genome published

Leonard — Fri, 07 May 2010 02:21:25 +0000

Science magazine has published the Neandertal genome draft sequence, and the information is all-access: there’s no need to have a subscription or use the campus library proxy.

In the 7 May 2010 issue of Science, Green et al. report a draft sequence of the Neandertal genome composed of over 3 billion nucleotides from three individuals, and compare it with the genomes of five modern humans. A companion paper by Burbano et al. describes a method for sequencing target regions of Neandertal DNA. A News Focus , podcast segment, and special online presentation featuring video commentary, text, and a timeline of Neandertal-related discoveries provide additional context for their findings.

BBC photos: Sirpur temple complex in India

Leonard — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 15:16:09 +0000

Via BBC News. A couple of interesting captions caught my eye:

The ASI-led excavation and restoration work has brought prosperity to the residents of Sirpur. Villagers say the young men and women no longer have to travel to faraway places like Mumbai for work.
Anjali Nishad is helping dig what Mr Sharma describes as a 3rd Century BC marketplace. The work helps her sustain her three children, she says.

Archaeology as a jobs and development program. Interesting concept.
