Writing & Citing in Anthropology

StFX's Anthropology Department provides an Essay Style Guide, which clearly outlines how to format your Anthropology papers (including citations and your References' page). Access to this document is provided below.

NOTE: The American Anthropological Association (AAA) has decided to cease production of the AAA Style Guide. The AAA style now adheres fully to the current edition of the Chicago Manual of Style (Author-Date) which can be located on their website. 

Below are quick guides for Chicago Manual of Style and for the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) Style:
