Archeological Research Series
Publications in Archeology
Anthropological Papers Series
In order that all of the values which lend distinction and national importance...may be preserved and interpreted, the National Park Service is conducting basic studies in the fields of history, natural history, architecture, landscape architecture, and archeology. These studies will provide the basic interpretation...for the enjoyment of hundreds of thousands of future...travelers.

National Park Service Historic Photograph CollectionThese publications were the culmination of a series of archeological and anthropological research studies conducted by the National Park Service starting in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Originally published as the Archeological Research Series, the series was retitled Publications in Archeology following the establishment of the Office of Professional Publications. The Anthropological Papers Series was discontinued after only two titles were published.
A number of titles centered around archeological investigations at Mesa Verde (Wetherill Mesa Studies) and Chaco Canyon. The later studies were released by the Division of Cultural Research (aka Chaco Center), some under the Publications in Archeology series, while others (not shown below) were released under the series title, Reports of the Chaco Center.
Most of these titles are now out-of-print (two titles have been re-released by the University of New Mexico Press). Due to the sensitive nature of some of the information contained in these reports (human burials and funerary objects), only selected portions of some documents will be placed on-line.
