Announcements

#BlackLivesMatter

We mourn the loss of George Floyd, Rayshard Brookes, and all the lives that have been lost or destroyed due to racism and structural inequities in our society. We acknowledge the pain and disillusionment of the black community and we stand in solidarity with #BlackLivesMatter and the individuals and organizations who are actively working towards dismantling racism in our nation and the world.

As archaeologists, we have the ability to uniquely amplify the voices of those who have been marginalized and have remained underrepresented, both in the past and the present. We acknowledge that the practice of California archaeology has continuing structural inequalities and a colonial past that influences our discipline, our organization, and how we interpret the past.

As the largest regional society in the USA, it is imperative that the SCA takes meaningful action toward dismantling racism and inequity in our profession. We will persist in our commitment to making the SCA an environment that explicitly values and welcomes diverse viewpoints and people. We do not have all of the answers right now, but we are committed to improving diversity and equality in our community.  It is up to us to be more inclusive, both in the way we engage with the past and how we engage with modern communities. We are committed to taking real action toward improving our engagement with diverse communities and improving representation of people from varied backgrounds within our membership. We will continue to communicate about how the SCA plans to address these issues and welcome your feedback. 

SCA Anti-harassment Bylaws Amendment Proposal

The vote scheduled to be held at the Annual Business Meeting Saturday, March 14, 2020, will now appear on the October ballot.

California Archaeology Reaches Milestone

At the start of its second decade, California Archaeology has been approved for inclusion in the prestigious SCOPUS academic citation index. The journal received these review comments from the SCOPUS Content Selection & Advisory Board:

  • The journal publishes material that is well cited, underlining its importance in the research field. As such it merits inclusion in SCOPUS.
  • The journal consistently includes articles that are scientifically sound and relevant to an international academic or professional audience in this field.
  • The journal has scholarly relevance as evidenced by citations in other journals currently covered by Scopus.
  • In general, the content of the articles is consistent with the scope and aims of the journal.
  • This title addresses a subject area not properly covered by an existing journal.
  • The journal has clear aims and scope/journal policies that are consistent with the journal’s content.
  • Peer review type is clearly stated and is supported by appropriate reviewer guidelines."

Congratulations to the editors, editorial board members, peer reviewers, and contributors who worked so hard to bring California Archaeology to this level!

Frequent the online access version, think of every view and download as a vote for California Archaeology—metrics matter!
