AAA (American Anthropological Association) Publication Style Guide
AAA uses The Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition, 2003) and Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (11th edition, 2006). This guide is an outline of style rules basic to our journal editing. Where no rule is present in this guide, follow Chicago. In Webster’s, use the first spelling if there is a choice and use American (rather than British) spellings. This guide does not apply to newsletters, which deviate frequently from these guidelines in the interest of space and tend to follow many Associated Press style rules.
Anthropologists work in many parts of the world in close personal association with the peoples and situations they study. Their professional situation is, therefore, uniquely varied and complex. They are involved with their discipline, their colleagues, their students, their sponsors, their subjects, their own and host governments, the particular individuals and groups with whom they do their fieldwork, other populations and interest groups in the nations within which they work, and the study of processes and issues affecting general human welfare. In a field of such complex involvements, misunderstandings, conflicts, and the necessity to make choices among conflicting values are bound to arise and to generate ethical dilemmas. It is a prime responsibility of anthropologists to anticipate these and to plan to resolve them in such a way as to do damage neither to those whom they study nor, insofar as possible, to their scholarly community.
Anatomy Atlases: Illustrated Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variation
Anatomy Atlases is an anatomy digital health sciences library that has been uniquely committed since 2006 and through its predecessors since 1995: To educate patients, healthcare providers, and students in a free and anonymous manner; For the purpose of improving patients' care, outcome, and lives; Using current, authoritative, trustworthy health information; While serving as a platform for research into the challenges facing world-wide information distribution. Curate a comprehensive digital library of anatomy information for patients and providers. Maximize the impact of this digital library by enhancing awareness among potential users at local, national, and international levels. Ensure an optimal educational experience through simplicity and clarity in design. Lead the way to a better understanding of digital libraries through a process of on-going evaluation.
Anthropology Biographies at the EMuseum @ Minnesota State University Mankato
This biography web has been developed by the anthropology students at Minnesota State University, Mankato as a part of our EMuseum. We strive to produce brief descriptions of anthropologists and other scientists that have direct influence on the discipline of anthropology. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but we are continuing to add and it grows each semester. Feel free to suggest names in our comment section (use the 'Help' button) for any future people you would like to see included. We presently have biographies on 845 people who have influenced anthropology in some way. We are adding new ones all the time.

Chicago Manual of Style Citation Guide - Ohio State University Libraries
This guide is based on the The Chicago Manual of Style 15th ed. rev. (University of Chicago Press, 2003). Examples are shown for both the Author-Date style of citation recommended for natural sciences and social sciences, as well as the Notes-Bibliography style used for fine arts, history, literature, etc.
Each of the bones of the cranium posses a number of distinctive features which not only allow the bone to be identified, but also permit its exact location and orientation in the body to be determined (i.e., as a left or right, medial- lateral, posterior-anterior, inferior-superior, etc.). The features listed as characteristic of each of the bones depicted in the Skull Module© serve as an aid in such an identification. While the list of features accompanying each bone is by no means complete, the major ones are introduced. Additionally, various QuickTime VR movies have been made available for many of the cranial bones in order to assist in overcoming the three deminsional difficulties associated with becoming familiar with the bones. Moreover, because the Skull Module© is seen as only an introductory attempt to assist students of human cranial skeletal anatomy, the elements of the inner ear (i.e., the Malleus, Incus, and Stapes), as well as the individual teeth are not addressed.
EMuseum @ Minnesota State University Mankato
The EMuseum at Minnesota State University, Mankato is a completely virtual museum: we have no material collections but instead create and post exhibits and information via our webpage on the Internet. The EMuseum is affiliated with the Anthropology Department at Minnesota State University, Mankato and receives financial and other support from the Department, the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, the University, and several private individuals. We are a student-run organization with professional oversight.
ETSS.net - Evolutionary Theories in the Social Sciences
Our mission is to serve as the premier information site for scholars interested in evolutionary thought in the social sciences.
This page provides access to Adobe PDF versions of University of Victoria's Dr. Donaldson's ANTH 451 (Human Osteology) Powerpoint lectures. You will need the Adbobe Acrobat browser plug-in to read these (most browsers already have it, if not, you can download it here. ) Some of the files are fairly large. Files are not necessarily in the same order as lectures. Please direct comments about the operation of this web page to Dr. Quentin Mackie: qxm@uvic.ca. Comments on the content should, of course, go to Dr. Donaldson.
The human skeletal illustrations were compiled by Dr. Lorainne Heidecker, emeritus faculty, Department of Anthropology, Sacramento State.

The eSkeletons Project website is devoted to the study of human and primate comparative anatomy. It offers a unique set of digitized versions of skeletons in 2-D and 3-D in full color, animations, and much supplemental information. The user can navigate through the various regions of the skeleton and view all orientations of each element along with muscle and joint information. eSkeletons enables you to view the bones of both human and non-human primates ranging from the gorilla to the tiny mouse lemur. All of the large apes are represented as well as other species from different parts of the world. Many of these primates are rare or endangered species.

UNC Writing Center Handout on Anthropology Writing Assignments
This handout briefly situates anthropology as a discipline of study within the social sciences. It provides an introduction to the kinds of writing that you might encounter in your anthropology courses, describes some of the expectations that your instructors may have, and suggests some ways to approach your assignments. It also includes links to information on citation practices in anthropology and resources for writing anthropological research papers.
