California Archaeology publishes original papers on the archaeology of Alta California, Baja California, and adjoining regions (southern Oregon, western Nevada, and western Arizona). The journal is dedicated to advancing knowledge of California’s past, and it will consider manuscripts that treat theory, method, and/or empirical findings from either the prehistoric or historic (text-aided) era. Ethnohistoric or ethnographic studies will be considered only if they make explicit connections to or have clear implications for the material record. Paleoenvironmental studies will be considered with the same caveat. Papers dealing with the recent past (< 50 years) will be given lower priority for publication.

The journal publishes four types of papers: articles that advance theoretical, methodological, and/or empirical knowledge of a major issue in the prehistory or history of California or an adjoining region; reports that present descriptive information on important and/or unusual discoveries; letters that briefly comment on recently published research (commonly followed by a response); and reviews that briefly evaluate recently published books, DVDs, museum exhibits, or other materials with significant archaeological content.

The journal also publishes a News and Notes column, which includes information on recent fieldwork, legal developments, and/or other events or activities related to the practice of archaeology in California and adjoining regions, and an In Memoriam column on prominent, recently deceased members of the California archaeological community.
