Stay Current with Society Publications
Disseminating knowledge is a vital part of the Society's mission. All members receive The Minnesota
Archaeologist, an annual journal containing articles discussing a variety of topics relating to archaeology in
Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. The Minnesota Archaeologist has been continuously published since
1936 and can be found in dozens of libraries and search engines in the U.S. and Canada.
The MAS Newsletter and regular mailings keep you informed about current digs and research projects,
volunteer opportunities, upcoming lectures and field trips, and the activities of fellow members.
The Society also publishes books on Ojibway and Dakota culture, major excavations, archaeological
methodology and other topics.

Become a Peer Reviewer for The Minnesota Archaeologist
We are incorporating peer review into our journal review. The peer review process for The Minnesota Archaeologist will be informal by
larger academic publication standards but will still provide useful feedback and subject matter guidance for the authors. Peer reviewers
look at the big-picture subject matter of the articles and should be less concerned with formatting and grammar details. Two peer
reviewers are used during the review process. It is highly encouraged to have one peer reviewer be an archaeological professional and
subject-matter expert for the specific article under review, and the second peer reviewer to be an avocational archaeologist or non-
archaeologist to align with MAS’s public-oriented message.
If you are interested in becoming a peer reviewer, please email us at editor@mnarchsociety.org with your subject, topic, or regional
expertise or interest. When an article matches with a peer reviewer’s interest, the editor will contact the peer reviewer. The peer
reviewer will have four weeks to review the first draft, and two weeks for all ensuing drafts throughout the editing process.
