Finding Site Reports in Archaeology
- 1. Finding Site Reports in Archaeology Celia Emmelhainz Anthropology Librarian Spring 2019
- 2. I need a site report Gives details about what was found at an excavation site - Published as a monograph (or at times as an article or chapter) - May include diagrams, location, time period, artifacts, architecture, floor plans, drawings, or photographs
- 3. Finding site reports in the library catalog Search the library catalog for excavations + location Look by site name (Rubino site, San Jose) or number (CA-SCL-674); if that doesnt work, try broader region
- 4. AnthroHub: pre-2008 Berkeley publications Also see the PDFs online at anthrohub.lib.berkeley.edu UC Archaeological Survey reports UC Publications in American Archaeology and Ethnology Other publications by Berkeley archaeologists Good for sources pre-2008
- 5. eScholarship: post-2008 Berkeley pubs Search Archaeological Research Facility at escholarship.org/uc/arf Search by site name (Rubino site) or number (CA-SCL-674) ARF publications, monographs, and reports Doesnt tend to duplicate AnthroHub
- 6. Locating Berkeley dissertations Open ProQuest Dissertations and Theses from our list of databases at guides.lib.berkeley.edu/az.php. Search site name + excavations or site number to find PhD dissertations. Download PDF and search within to locate details on site Look at references! They may refer to a specific site report; you can look for that on the library home page, in Google Scholar, or in the sources previously mentioned. For undergraduate honors theses, search e.g. rock shelter + honors in the library catalog, looking only in the anthropology library.
- 7. Digital Index of North American Archaeology (DINAA) At opencontext.org, browse California -> Alameda Co -> CA-ALA-309 to find site number for e.g. Emeryville shellmounds
- 8. The Digital Archaeological Record (tDAR) Digital repository for archaeological data. Contains some data & citations for archaeological publications. Search at tdar.org
Editor's Notes
- #2: The paper will involve researching the site, locating pertinent resources in campus libraries and on-line, reading one or two relevant references (hopefully a site report), and writing a brief (3-5 pages) report outlining the students observations.? A great resource are past dissertations written by Berkeley students on local sites/places (Petaluma Adobe, Fort Ross, Presidio of San Francisco).? Also, all the UC publications? in Anthropology (University of California Archaeological Survey reports, University of California Publications in American Archaeology and Ethnology, Archaeological Research Facility monographs, etc) are available in hard copy in the Anthropology Library and on-line
