Abstracts in Anthropology This link opens in a new windowAbstracts in Anthropology is the only comprehensive abstracting journal in the field of anthropology, providing thorough coverage of anthropological scholarship in all its subfields: cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics.
