Counting Northwest Coast Archaeology Journals

Smaller academic journals are important but often overlooked. For a first draft post, I figured it might be useful to create a simple list of smaller academic journals that regularly publish archaeological research about the Northwest Coast (by small, I mean not many articles and issues per year). If you have suggestions or reminders to add here, please email me.

Small Journals that regularly feature Northwest Coast Archaeology

Canadian Journal of Archaeology

BC Studies: The British Columbian Quarterly

Arctic Anthropology is a long established journal focused on the global northern latitudes which includes substantial regional coverage on the Northwest Coast

Journal of Northwest Anthropology (formerly NW Anthropological Research Notes). Curiously, this journal does not make its table of contents public or accessible for the current year but does post their back issues online for free at https://www.northwestanthropology.com/digital-archive

The Midden: Journal of the Archaeological Society of British Columbia *is now peer reviewed with an editorial board * but are thinking of changing the name of the journal which is too bad and a bit reactionary imo:(

Alaska Journal of Anthropology

Pacific Northwest Quarterly also on JSTOR

Oregon Historical Quarterly (OHQ)

Other emerging journal venues 

Culturally Modified

PlatForum: UVic Journal of Graduate Students in Anthropology occasionally publishes on archaeological topics https://journals.uvic.ca/index.php/platforum/index

No-longer/not very active journals

Archaeology in Washington while a long established venue, this Washington focused journal seems on hiatus currently, with its last issue in 2019

Inlet: Contributions to Archaeology was a promising venue but hasn’t gone beyond their first issue in 2018

Canadian Zooarchaeology

Syesis (formerly published by the Royal BC Museum)

Northwest Anthropological Research Notes (now Journal of NW Anthropology).
