Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s publications Technical Reports, Special Publications, Letter Reports, and the Old Pueblo Archaeology bulletin. Old Pueblo also offers some books by other publishers for sale – See the order form in the Old Pueblo Archaeology Center PUBLICATIONS listings.
TECHNICAL REPORTS
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center produces scientific publications about its archaeological excavations, testing projects, and larger cultural resources surveys. Each technical report still in print is either a perfectbound book or a booklet with card stock covers. Electronic copies of some of the out-of-print reports can be provided upon request for a small fee. Old Pueblo can scan out-of-print reports that have not yet been digitized to Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format upon request, for a $25 fee (the cost of an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center “Friend” membership). For a list of our technical reports see Old Pueblo Archaeology Center PUBLICATIONS.
SPECIAL PUBLICATIONS
Old Pueblo’s Special Publications are books or booklets, generally perfect-bound or hardcover, about specific topics in Southwestern archaeology and anthropology. Most of them are written in nontechnical style for the enjoyment of general audiences. For a list of titles see Old Pueblo Archaeology Center PUBLICATIONS.
LETTER REPORTS
The Letter Reports provide information about Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s consulting programs involving archaeological surveys in which few or no archaeological sites were located, excavations at sites eventually interpreted as insignificant according to criteria for determining whether historic properties are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, or assessments of research programs conducted by other organizations. Each Letter Report is produced by photocopying and is staple-bound on plain bond paper. Because some Letter Reports contain proprietary or sensitive information, permission for copies of a Letter Report must be requested in writing to Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and release of the information may require permission from an Old Pueblo client or government agency, so each request is reviewed individually. Electronic copies of most of the Letter Reports can be provided in pdf format.
OLD PUEBLO ARCHAEOLOGY BULLETIN
The Old Pueblo Archaeology bulletin is a full-color electronic-format (pdf) quarterly newsletter that usually runs at least 12 pages long. In addition to providing news about archaeology, history, and culture-related programs offered by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and other organizations, each issue normally includes one primary feature article that deals with a particular theme, and one or more secondary feature articles. Each bulletin is written in a nontechnical format and includes ample illustrations. For a list of articles that have been included in all bulletins visit the Old Pueblo Archaeology Center PUBLICATIONS listings.
The current bulletin issue is available only to current Old Pueblo Archaeology Center members and subscribers.
