Also, for those reports involving prehistory, it should be noted that the date ranges for the three traditional American Indian cultural periods (Paleo-Indian, Archaic, and Woodland) vary in the reports. Researchers should take into consideration that the breadth of this bibliography led to the inclusion of a number of outdated entries that do not reflect contemporary scholarship. Items listed as Alexandria Archaeology Publications, a series of booklets and manuscripts published by the Museum, and photocopies of archaeological reports may also be ordered for a fee, by contacting the museum. In an attempt to bring the so-called “gray literature” to light, many of the archaeological reports listed below are available for download as PDFs. Titles without attached PDFs may be read, by appointment, at the Museum.
The bibliography includes site reports and public summaries, as well as books, journal articles and in-house publications.
