[Aztlan] FAMSI Journal of the Ancient Americas

[David Hixson]

FAMSI JOURNAL OF THE ANCIENT AMERICAS

Estimados Listeros,

After a short hiatus, the FAMSI Journal of the Ancient
Americas is once again soliciting contributed articles.

As many of you already know, for the past several years
FAMSI has agreed to host an online repository for academic
papers, called the “FAMSI Journal of the Ancient
Americas”.

The main goal of the "FAMSI Journal" is to enhance
the sharing of knowledge between professionals,
researchers, teachers, students, and enthusiasts in
the many disciplines of Pre-Columbian studies.  

The FAMSI Journal is intended as a central repository
for professional presentations, research reports,
academic papers and book reviews on both Pre-Columbian
cultures of the Americas and their modern descendants.

We hope that this service will allow academic papers
that would otherwise be seen only at a conference or
in a classroom to have a wider audience and benefit
everyone in the Aztlan community.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR ACADEMIC PAPERS:

*All submissions must be made by the principal author.

*All submissions must be in either Microsoft Word or
PDF format (the final versions will all be converted
to PDF format).

*Images are welcome, but must be embedded within the

FAMSI JOURNAL BOOK REVIEWS:

The moderators of AZTLAN have also contacted the
leading presses in the United States for books that
may be reviewed by our members.  As these books
arrive, the moderators will seek persons to review the
books for the FAMSI JOURNAL.

Persons whose books have been recently published
should request that their press send a review copy to
John Schwaller who will serve as the Book Review
editor of the FAMSI JOURNAL.

If you have acquired a book outside of the U.S. and
would like to review it, please send a copy of your
review to the moderators for consideration.

Please review your own portfolio, and consider posting
an academic paper or book review to our moderators.

Sincerely,

The Aztlan Moderators and FAMSI
